This is very frightening indeed. I care for a man who has been a quadraapeligic since 1959 due to polio. The fact that he is still alive is amazing. It is rare now days to meet someone who has been through this devastating illness.

I was speaking to my girlfriend in CO over the weekend and she said at her church she met a young woman in her late 30's who had contacted West Nile back east early this summer. She was there for prayer since she in now confined to a wheelchair and doctors have no idea if she will ever walk again. It seems that the medical profession has really been flying blind on this one. One would think that since West Nile is more common in other parts of the world these polio like symptoms would have been reported before now. It makes you wonder if this is really West Nile or a virus that has been altered.

An old friend of mine ( now deceased ) had polio as a child, long before vaccines existed... the first time I met him, when I was a tiny boy, I thought he was another child, his growth was so stunted. It's an awful disease.

Billy Tucker lived into his 70's, and did manage to support himself by running a telephone answering service- he trained himself to recall verbatim everything he heard. Truly remarkable!

Like you, I think there is reason to suspect a malign human hand behind this stuff...

a young mother in her 30's died in NJ (bergen county)of west nile (on her death certificate) this summer and i was shocked when this went completely unreported here. they are only reporting the elderly victims...
