Antivaxx:what can I say except your welcome

If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck, then it must be a duck.

I have Transverse Myelitis with onset 5 months old from having a DTaP immunization.
I had all the same symptoms and was paralyzed from my neck down. I am 36 now and am lucky to have survived it. I am praying for these children and their families! ❤

When you realize it has the same symptoms as a stroke. So your either getting this or your having a stroke 😟

Polio: *gets wiped out*
Anti vaxxers: I'm about to restart this man's whole career

[s.s.]

USA has hundreds of thousands of travelers all over the world every single day. The amount of diseases we are exposed to are limitless. I mean we even had several cases of Ebola...it seems every year there’s a new virus making its way to our children...I pray for our kids and for those who are sick to recover fully.

Thanks! Now children have polio again! :)

13 Things You Didn't Know About Polio
1. In the 1800's a popular wallpaper called Paris Green was infused with a potent pesticide. Some of the most toxic substances known to man: copper and arsenic or lead and arsenic.
2. This pesticide worked by causing neurological damage in the bugs, causing organ failure.
3. Polio consists of symptoms synonymous with neurological damage, causing organ failure.
4. Heavy metal poisoning from lead, mercury and other similar heavy metals manifest lesions on neurological tissues, meaning the toxin destroys the nerve/communication pathways connecting the brain to the organs in the body.
5. Polio victims present lesions on neurological tissue, that cause the organs to malfunction all around the body. (lungs, heart, nerves that control walking etc)
6. Polio outbreaks hit throughout the summer, only during pesticide spraying times. (not the sunless and damp winter/spring seasons like other disease outbreaks)
7. Polio had NO ability to spread from infected victims to the uninfected. Polio infected clusters of people in the exact same areas, suddenly and swiftly.
8. Parents report finding their children paralyzed in and around apple orchards. One of the most heavily pesticide sprayed crops of the time (with lead arsenate or copper arsenate) were apple orchards.
9. President Roosevelt became paralyzed over night while on his farm in the summer, which contained many crops, including apple orchards. He also swam the day prior in a bay that was heavily polluted by industrial agricultural run off.
10. Dr. Ralph Scobey and Dr. Mortind Biskind testified in front of the U.S Congress in 1951 that the paralysis around the country known as polio was being caused by industrial poisons and that a virus theory was purposely fabricated by the chemical industry and the government to deflect litigation away from both parties.
11. In 1956 the AMA (The American Medical Association) instructed each licensed medical doctor that they could no longer classify polio as polio, or their license to practice would be terminated. Any paralysis was now to be diagnosed as AFP (acute flaccid paralysis) MS, MD, Bell's Palsy, cerebral palsy, ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), Guillian-Barre etc etc. This was orchestrated purposely to make the public believe polio was eradicated by the polio vaccine campaign, but because the polio vaccine contained toxic ingredients directly linked to paralysis, polio cases (not identified as polio) were skyrocketing...but only in vaccinated areas.
12. The first polio vaccine was worked on by Dr. Jonas Salk and human experiments using this vaccine were conducted purposely on orphans in government/church run institutions because they were vulnerable and didn't require any parental consent signatures, as they had no parents. The vaccine was "declared safe" by "medicine" (as they always are) and that vaccine gave 40, 000 orphans polio, permanently paralyzed hundreds and killed at least 10 children. All injuries and deaths under-reported of course by the same authorities who orchestrated the atrocity. This was called The Cutter Incident.
13. The next "improved" polio vaccine, given to hundreds of millions, carried both the SV 40 cancer virus as well as the AIDS virus. Every step of the way, medicine declaring they know for sure, that this time, they have everything straightened out. Same story then, same story now.

It's hard to feel sorry for them when their existence is basically a joke. Well, that's a really short ride

[nobodyyesyes]

I hope he is okay now. I have got so much in life and I don't even realise it. Why little kids? Why anyone? Why do these kinds of things happen to them??

[kyleyo]

Respect that the news reporter called the boy “he” instead of “she”

[smartjewelry]

People travel. I'm shocked diseases aren't more out of control

[jaygames]

We need to research cures for more diseases.

[thesnoozebutton]

This Is so scary
It sounds alot like Guillian Barre. But I know its different

[-bs]

Radiation sickness! From seafood fish anything from the ocean tuna in a can radioactive!💀

[mirensummers]

As much as I support vaccination, this is a complication of common upper respiratory tract infections caused by viruses. It's not something that you can currently vaccinate for, we all get them occasionally

[윤채은]

Hi. I'm scared because there's a polio outbreak now in my country. I'm currently turning 15 years old in October. Can I ask? Am I susceptible for polio? And can polio leave your body after several days after you got infected?
Edit: I mean, can I get well after having a polio? Or is it a lifetime paralysis?

[ruaidhri]

Subliminal trans parents messaging. The child totally looks like a girl.
