WASHINGTON (CBS / AP) — Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer asked the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday to initiate a formal investigation into what has caused polio-like paralysis in about 20 children in California over the past 18 months.
Boxer said “we need answers” in her letter to CDC Director Thomas Frieden. In particular, she wants the agency to look into whether the illness can be traced to a virus or environmental factors. She also wants to know whether the agency is aware of similar reports of paralysis nationwide...

During the last decade, outbreaks of polio-like symptoms have been reported in children in Asia and Australia, and these infections have been associated with newly identified strains of enterovirus.

Problem is, that if they do track it down to illegals, they’ll bury it and then turn around and blame it on the effects of globull warming.
lol
EXACTLY!
now you are learning how the left thinks!
GLOBAL WARMING! How did I miss that one! Of course the left will blame it on that!
I’d worry about if it were coming from a refugee, say from Afghanistan where they still have active polio, whether officialdom would ever let that fact slip out.

Bill Gates may not be everyone’s favorite, but hes donated a billion or so to Rotary to get the job done.

Well, that sounds like a good deed, but he has also donated much money to funding abortions in foreign countries.
CDC ping
Thanks for the ping!
Many of them were for sure vaxed, and the other ones are not known by us. They might all be vaxed. The three that have come forward appear to be Caucasian families and we don’t know anything about the other.
The most important thing for us CA parents is to read up on who avoided polio in the day, because if this is a similar virus but not covered by the vax, we should know what doesn’t allow the virus to make us sick.
Definitely make sure kids have basic antiviral supplements like good quality vitamins c and d, at therapeutic doses. Virus don’t stick around as much when the child’s blood level is over 60. Until we know more, just do what you can to prevent any viruses, and make sure your child’s gut biome is strong: natural probiotics like fermented foods, and sources of resistant starch in his diet to feed those good bacteria.
You’re welcome, Alamo-Girl!
-—— what has caused polio-like paralysis——
unvaccinated illegal Mexican children are the vector
I believe this has been ruled out as being poliomyelitis (Polio) but is another newly identified strain of enterovirus. If that is the case, then the polio vaccination probably wouldn’t give immunity to this newly identified or possibly mutated strain. It is interesting to note that strains of enterovirus are also responsible for Hand Foot and Mouth disease and Acute Hemorrhagic Conjunctivitis – something I had in 2004 – not fun!
As far as taking supplements, “like good quality vitamins c and d, at therapeutic doses” I don’t think there is much medical evidence to support this, that taking them will prevent viral infections. It might not help but then again it probably wouldn’t be harmful, doesn’t hurt except if overdone. But excessive doses of vitamin D and C can be harmful - too much of anything can be. Most of us, unless we have some sort of illness that causes vitamin deficiencies, get plenty of the vitamins and minerals necessary for maintaining good health through eating a well balanced diet and most of the excess taken via supplements are excreted through the urine (i.e. you are literally pissing your money away).
Getting Too Much of Vitamins And Minerals
unvaccinated illegal Mexican children are the vector
That so far doesn’t appear to be the case. FWIW, Mexico actually has a higher rate of childhood vaccinations than the US.
Mexico more effective than U.S. at immunizing children

There have been no reported cases of Polio in Mexico in many, many years. That is not the case however with Afghanistan, Syria, Pakistan, Nigeria and several African countries.
Could something have gone haywire with the vaccine for polio?
Most vaccine components are imported from China and India. Who knows what’s in them anymore.
It used to be they would not have had to be urged. But...if the outcome may not be politically correct, sweep that under the ole rug.
