NEW THREAT First outbreak of highly infectious polio detected in UK since 1984 – the 6 signs to know
The Sun (UK) ^

Posted on 06/22/2022 6:18:39 AM PDT by TigerClaws

POLIO is spreading in the UK for the first time in decades, officials claim.

Health bosses urged Brits to check their children's jabs are up to date after picking up signs of the virus being passed between individuals.

Experts have detected the same bug in London sewage samples since April – a clear signal of a community outbreak.

The last case of polio being contracted in Britain was in 1984 and the country was declared polio-free in 2003.

Before a vaccine was introduced in the 1950s, epidemics would result in thousands of people being paralysed annually and hundreds of deaths.

UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) experts believe a traveller – likely from Pakistan, Afghanistan or Nigeria - shed the virus in their stools after being given the oral polio inoculation.

But the bug has now spread to others after mutating, with the same strain being repeatedly detected in sewage samples since May.

Health bosses have now launched an urgent investigation to pin-point the source and boost vaccination in affected areas.

Despite clear evidence of an outbreak, no cases have yet come forward.

And officials insist the overall risk to the public remains very low. Dr Vanessa Saliba, Consultant Epidemiologist at UKHSA said: “Vaccine-derived poliovirus is rare and the risk to the public overall is extremely low.

Wasn’t Bill Gates (the esteemed medical professional) playing with Polio vaccines in Africa? His vaccines actually caused Polio and African countries cancelled the program and threw his teams and vaccines out.

Wonder if one of Bill’s vaccines is behind this latest “outbreak” ?????

My grandfather contracted polio, and it affected his fine motor skills in his hands.

In the winter, he would go to the barn and hook the mule to a sledge. He’d drag the sledge from the barn to the house until it was clear. Then he’d bring the cow to the back porch, so grandma could milk the cow. His hands just couldn’t do the job.

Combination of Turd World people without vaccinations and fact that current populations lacking adequate vaccinations give polio chance to reignite

Effective vaccine been around since 1950’s

Remember one girl in first grade (1960) , one of last who contracted polio before the vaccines

Wore braces and crutches , every day father would drop off/pickup from school as could not ride the bus because of
paralysis

Iirc, there have been cases where polio victims have relapsed decades later due, I suppose, to the virus remaining present in the body similar to the shingles virus. I hope the Covid vaccine has not awakened it.

Polio is still endemic in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Next question.

Did not even have to read to nail down the source.

“UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) experts believe a traveller – likely from Pakistan, Afghanistan or Nigeria - shed the virus in their stools after being given the oral polio inoculation. “

Illegals and other assorted turd world invaders. The gift that keeps on giving.

Obama is partly to blame in causing muslim distrust of polio vaccine. He & his henchman sent fake doctors to the Osama compound.
