New York detects case of vaccine-derived polio
Healio ^ | 7/21/2022

Posted on 07/21/2022 11:58:54 AM PDT by Right Wing Vegan

According to the state health department, testing done at a state lab and confirmed by the CDC showed that the virus is a vaccine strain Sabin type 2, which indicates that transmission occurred from someone who received an oral polio vaccine.

Different from wild polio, which has been nearly eradicated globally, cases of vaccine-derived poliovirus occur when a live but weakened strain of virus that is included in vaccines spreads between people. Like wild polio, vaccine-derived poliovirus can cause paralysis.

According to the state health department, it is the first case of vaccine-derived polio recorded in the United States since 2013. There has not been a case of wild polio in the U.S. since 1979, according to the CDC.

The U.S. has used only inactivated polio vaccines since 2000.

The New York case was reported less than a month after British health officials announced that routine wastewater surveillance detected the spread of vaccine-derived poliovirus in London.

I don’t think that’s what the article is saying.

Nowhere in that article do they mention the COVID vaccines.

It doesn't. It doesn't even elude to it. But forum agendas must be maintained.

Some people here are always ready to jump the gun to further their gripes.

The article refers to a case of polio transmitted by someone who took the live (weakened) oral vaccine.

I remember lining up in school to get the oral polio vaccine. In the year that I was born more than 1,000 people died in the United States from polio. By the time that I was 21, there were still a quarter million people in the country who were at least partially paralyzed by it.

The disappearance of polio, along with the dramatic decline of red measles, is part of the reason that fewer older people are anti-vax. We remember.

For decades, the ONLY U.S. cases of polio have come from the weakened version of the vaccine. I have no idea why the UK would use the weakened version instead of the dead version at this time.

The Salk vaccine uses inactive polio virus, the Sabin (sugar cube) used live virus.

Yes, we remember. The people were very grateful to get the polio vaccines - it was a devastating disease.

My moms first husband died because of this exact thing. Google cutter lab polio. Btw the number of dead back then was over 8000. I grew up in an anti vax family that was anti vax for a very good reason.

Salk had a lab that forgot to kill the virus in a batch. Oops

I received the Sabin vaccine. I don’t believe it’s used in the US anymore.
