My boyfriend hid a major body secret from me for months — how I got over it
New York Post ^ | January 19th, 2023 | Taylor Knight

A woman recalled being so blinded by love as a teenager that it took her three months to realize her boyfriend only had one leg.

The TikToker said she and her 6-foot-6 boyfriend, whose name she did not disclose, “were inseparable. We saw each other, like, every day. We spent every waking moment together."

“So I took this picture to my friends, and I said, ‘Guys, I think my boyfriend might only have one leg.'”

She said her friends were puzzled by the accusation and encouraged her to get answers from her beau.

He eventually confessed a few weeks later, she said.

“He’s like, ‘I have Polio,'” she claimed. “I was like, listen, I suspected this for a couple of weeks now, and you made it real weird by not telling me.”

Polio, a highly contagious virus, is very rare, thanks to the CDC-approved polio vaccine. An unvaccinated Rockland County, New York, resident infected last summer marked the first polio case recorded in the US since 2013, officials said.

Actually held the record card for my polio vaccine TODAY. It was dated 03/31/1963. Was very surprised to find it with several old documents.
I still remember putting that sugar cube with the red drop in my mouth.

Well, they shouldn’t be banned. However, they are not very safe either. They gave everyone a monkey virus (SV40) that causes cancer and tumors. It is also passed through DNA from mother to child, so now everyone has it.

Polio vaccines are safe now, but in the early days they were ineffective and dangerous. It took about 20 years for a safe, reliable vaccine to be developed.

All of my kids and their friends had the polio vaccine in the 60s……no problems at alll.

I don’t know why you refer to it as formerly dangerous….good lord.

I think you are right. Its scraped from social media and makes no sense.
A missing leg is Polio? Wha?

“Musta been written by AI”

I’ve read two stories this morning that I strongly suspect were written by AI. Didn’t read this one. Not a good trend.

We saw each other, like, every day.

This idiot cannot even WRITE a sentence without using the word "like".
