btw....a large part of the resurgence in these viruses is strongly suspected to be the result of mutation, and immunity to available vaccines.
Health orgs will throw out 'facts' about how many people would die if vaccine X was not administered. When I was researching information about this 25 years ago, I came upon some authoritative published research that indicated that vaccines actually had a very limited role in the war against viral infections like polio, etc, and that the epidemics tended to ebb as the population's natural, collective body-defenses kicked in.
The fact is, that a lot of the conclusions and assertions taken as authoritative are, in fact, guesses.
My own experience with the medogovernmentopharmaceutical regime tells me the death rate from vaccination is a lot higher...along with the rate of brain damage that that bunch would never take the credit for. "Your kid was whack before the shot..it's natural for you to feel this way....but it's not the shot."
In other words, 'bug-off, pest...oh and don't make us call you an ignorant dufus by pressing the issue....'
I've just met too many people with stories like mine to believe that the procedure is safe...or as effective as commonly believed. And I've spoken, since, to medical professionals...including the president and CEO of a bio-tech firm: a military officer in charge of defending against biological-warfare threats ...who tell me my observations, and conclusions drawn therefrom, are not without merit.
Polio has existed since nearly the dawn of time, and has infected countless millions of people. You're telling me that it is a complete coincidence that polio has essentially been wiped out in the fifty years since Salk invented the vaccine?
