I grew up knowing of folks who were crippled by it and in lying in iron lung chambers for the rest of their lives😢
My old friend was confined to a wheelchair T age 14 and until she died at age 87😢
I knew the Amish folk anti-vaccers children
were still getting it in the late 1970s and later too as they do not always report such things and the children or adult victims
just get buried and such👽😢🤬Amish were still getting Small Pox after it was said to be eradicated in America also👽🤬

This is a preventable Disease😎

I remember the long long many block long standing outdoor lines for my first vaccination for it as the vaccines were oral and they actually mixed each vial in front of you and gave it to you to drink😎
For a little kid this was way cool😎
They passed out Nehi and Fanta sodas and
Necco and Lifesavers candy to us too😎
I just wonder if that one dose decades ago is still working or am I now at serious risk due to multiple cancers and undergoing double chemotherapy intravenous chest port infusions😳😢👽

POLIO HAS RETURNED👽😳

New York Health Department says hundreds of people may be infected with polio virus
BY SOPHIE REARDON

UPDATED ON: AUGUST 5, 2022 / 5:42 PM / CBS NEWS


New York state health officials have found indications of additional cases of polio virus in wastewater samples from two different counties, leading them to warn that hundreds of people may be infected with the potentially serious virus.

Just two weeks ago, the New York Health Department reported the nation's first case of polio in almost a decade, in Rockland County, north of New York City. Officials said that case occurred in a previously healthy young adult who was unvaccinated and developed paralysis in their legs. Since then, three positive wastewater samples from Rockland County and four from neighboring Orange County were discovered and genetically linked to the first case, the health department said in a press release on Thursday, suggesting that the polio virus is being spread within local communities. The newest samples were taken from two locations in Orange County in June and July and one location in Rockland County in July.


"Based on earlier polio outbreaks, New Yorkers should know that for every one case of paralytic polio observed, there may be hundreds of other people infected," State Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett said. "Coupled with the latest wastewater findings, the Department is treating the single case of polio as just the tip of the iceberg of much greater potential spread. As we learn more, what we do know is clear: the danger of polio is present in New York today."


The health department reiterated that it is still investigating the virus' origin, and said that it is not yet clear whether the infected person in Rockland County was linked to the other cases.

Polio is "a serious and life-threatening disease," the state health department said. It is highly contagious and can be spread by people who aren't yet symptomatic. Symptoms usually appear within 30 days of infection, and can be mild or flu-like. Some people who are infected may become paralyzed or die.

Before the polio vaccine was introduced in the 1950s, thousands of Americans died in polio outbreaks and tens of thousands, many of them children, were left with paralysis. After a successful vaccination campaign, polio was officially declared eradicated in the U.S. in 1979.

Unvaccinated New Yorkers are encouraged to get immunized right away, the health department said. Unvaccinated people who live, work or spend time in Rockland County, Orange County and the greater New York metropolitan area are at the greatest risk.

Most school-aged children have received the polio vaccine, which is a four-dose course, started between 6 weeks and 2 months of age and followed by one shot at 4 months, one at 6 to 12 months, and one between the ages of 4 and 6. According to the health department, about 60% of children in Rockland County have received three polio shots before their second birthday, as have about 59% in Orange County — both below the 79% statewide figure.


According to the CDC's most recent childhood vaccination data, about 93% of 2-year-olds in the U.S. had received at least three doses of polio vaccine.

Meanwhile, adults who are not vaccinated would receive a three-dose immunization, and those who are vaccinated but at high risk can receive a lifetime booster shot, according to the health department.

The vaccine is 99% effective in children who receive the full four-dose regime, health officials said.

"It is concerning that polio, a disease that has been largely eradicated through vaccination, is now circulating in our community, especially given the low rates of vaccination for this debilitating disease in certain areas of our County," Orange County Health Commissioner Dr. Irina Gelman said. "I urge all unvaccinated Orange County residents to get vaccinated as soon as medically feasible."
Rockland County Department of Health Commissioner Dr. Patricia Schnabel Ruppert issued a similar statement, calling on people who are not vaccinated to get the shots "immediately."
Polio has rarely appeared in the U.S. since it was declared eradicated over 40 years ago. The last reported case was brought by a traveler in 2013, according to The Associated Press.

I was semi-anti-vax for several years, and I'm ****** off that people ever got to me with that.

This apparently came from the live vaccine, and people like Mercola, are pushing that fact with glee. The live vaccine sheds (and that's the one I chose, to avoid a needle, when I was a kid). It made me very sick, for a couple of weeks. I was so cold, I was in front of a heating vent, and it felt like a freezing cold wind was blowing through me.

But this recent thing was a live vaccine shedding to people who weren't vaccinated, apparently.

😢💙👽
Think me mean but I have
gotten very
angry at anti-vaccers
because their
neglect has left me with
permanent serious
health issues
that cannot be fixed🤬
Seriously teasel not
everyone gets
angry about
anti-vaccers for
no valid reasons😢
I begged doctors since
1970 or so
to pleas give me
the 2 measles, mumps,
chicken pox vaccines
and others💙
They refused even though ALL
testing revealed that I was
not immune to any of them and
had no antibodies 👽😳
So yeah it ****** me off when
I was exposed at the
actual doctor
office to the 2 measles
and chicken pox
from the 3 unvaccinated totally
spotted itching little kids in
the waiting room🤬🤬🤬😀
So at age 58
whilst my husband was in
the hospital
and they did not
know if he would
survive the night 👽😢
I came down with 2 kinds
of measles and chicken pox🤬🤬🤬😢
I called the doctor and was told
to stay home👽😳🤬
I called the Emergency room and
they said the same because there
had been too many cases of
that makes and chicken pox lately👽
I was delirious and running 104*
fevers on and off for days
dehydrated vomiting and in
agonizing pain😢
and could not even call my husband
because he was in
critical condition in
the Intensive Care Unit😢👽
The nurses would not tell me
how he was
doing because of
damn Hippa crap and
they said they had no way to know
whether I was who
I claimed to be on the phone🤬👽
Being he was in
critical condition and unconscious,
I just had to wait and hope for
almost a frigging week to know if
he would live or not or when
he would
come home🤬😢
Add to the fact that I was
terribly fevered
and could
possibly actually die before
he and I could see each
other again,
So freaking yeah
I hated the anti-vaccers
for all that
and for even more reasons🤬
I now have been hit with
Shingles nerve damage 🤬😢
from the Chicken Pox 🤬😢
and more nerve damage
from it and
the 2 measles😢🤬
I already had
demyinating poly neuropathy
and other nasty non curable
nerve damage diseases😢
Then more on top of all
that just because people
did not believe in vaccines
and also because the
damn doctor refused yet
again when
I was 58 yeas old
to give me the vaccines
even though it was clear
that I had just gotten exposed
whilst in the
waiting room🤬
The Shingles vaccines
help some but did
not repair the
severe nerve damage
I already got hit with
because that is permanent😢🤬
And add to that crap
I now suffer from a permanent
form of conjunctivitis
that cannot be cured
and has further
damaged my eyesight
My eyelids are always red and
bleed often😢🤬
So my suffering has
increased for reasons
that could have been
prevented if others were
not being stupid inconsiderate
and selfish
and paranoid about vaccines🤬

Fortunately my husband had
gotten all his vaccines
except the mumps one
and he contracted mumps when
he was 28 years old from one of
the kids in his story time group
at the library When he worked
in the children's section
and did the
interactive story times💙
He was left with many deep pock mark
scars even on his face🤬👽😢
And on hs entire body
here and there🤬😢👽

Apologies for becoming angry
on this
issue but I have made
it clear why exactly
I am still angry after so long💙

So be upset about my reaction
but that
is how it was
and still is for me
because I am reminded
every day that
a portion of
my pain is from having
contracted these
preventable diseases 🤬

As far as the polio issue
I hope my vaccine is still
protecting me👽
I just thought folks should
be made clearly aware that
Polio may be back
no matter the vectors💙
This is a bad disease and
should it become
a pandemic
folks need to know ASAP 💙

Ok I know that
I should not be typing as
I am too exhausted from
the after effects of chemotherapy
but I happen to see your reply
as I was about to go back
to bed and felt I must reply
as this is a
very serious issue for me with
very serious valid
proven reasons
for my anger🤬

Fortunately I have not
caught the
Mumps
but again
no one will vaccinate
me for that either
and a few other
vaccines I should have😢

Sorry you had bad reactions
from folks
but there are valid reasons
for folks to feel strongly
against anti-vaccers😢💙
I am not wrong for being angry👽

Please pardon any typos
or strange autofills 👽
