Vaccine-Derived Polio

 Some of us were warning about the very serious potential for these non-sterilizing vaccines to produce vaccine escaping and antibody enhanced variants that would actually prolong the "pandemic". Of course we were called conspiracy theorists and spreading mis and dis-information. Well let's look at Polio which, coincidentally is one of the viruses the mask and vax crowd liked to point to as an example.

 

NPR so don't go accusing me of "biased right wing media". Not that I think NPR is unbiased.

"But in recent years, polio incidence has started to inch back up. The reason has to do with the type of vaccine used in many parts of the world, primarily in low- and middle-income countries. "
The "type of vaccine"? What, pray tell, does that mean?

"While the United States and other Western countries inject an inactivated virus that poses no risk of spread and are now polio-free, other countries rely on an oral vaccine. It's cheap, it's easy to administer and two or more doses confer lifelong immunity. But it's made with living, weakened virus. And that poses a problem."

So the US has a vaccine derived from an inactivated virus (something I have said should be done with COVID vaccines). The one that is apparently causing problems is NOT dead. Anything else?

"Those who've been immunized with live virus can shed it in their stool, which can then spread through sewage in places with poor sanitation. If the virus stays weak, it can expose the unvaccinated to polio and give them immunity. But if it mutates and regains virulence, someone who isn't vaccinated can become sick with vaccine-derived polio after contact with the contaminated wastewater.""l (as regular polio does. Not only that but these vaccinated people can be sources of *mutated* new strains that can infect the unvaccinated. in other words, the vaccinated become a danger to the un-vaccinated.  

You cannot make this up. Of course NPR and the like will make this an argument about getting vaccinated instead of using the proper vaccine that is already available.

"And now countries that had previously eradicated polio in Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia are seeing new outbreaks of vaccine-derived polio.'

Just like it is highly likely that the world is seeing an outbreak of vaccine derived COVID and we may have been totally done with this (as in very low level during seasonal outbreaks) a year ago had we no introduced a non-sterilizing vaccine in the middle of a pandemic as was warned against by [non-approved] experts in the field.

"Only there was a development that hadn't been anticipated. Vaccine-derived poliovirus of that type was still in circulation from earlier iterations of the oral vaccine — and now with the reformulated vaccine, increasing numbers of people who were no longer vaccinated against it. So there was further spread."

 " Oh whoops! Our bad. So sorry.

"

Over the past few years, Andino and his collaborators have been developing a new oral vaccine due to the recent outbreaks of vaccine-derived polio and an influx of funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The novel vaccine still contains a weakened version of the virus, but it's been hobbled even further.

"What we did is three independent modifications" to make reactivation less likely, says Andino. The researchers tweaked the virus so that it has to accumulate more mutations to become virulent and has a harder time amassing those mutations. "

Again, instead of using the dead virus, which:

1) they know works
2) Is available

They are still f****g around with a live one. These are the people some of y'all entrust your health with.  

"For kids, there's no difference. The vaccine is a sip of liquid that they call "juice," says Camara, and they get a purple mark on their left pinky fingernail after their dose that they think looks like cool nail polish."

Just like  people here with their "vaccinated" stickers. These countries should be demanding the dead virus version rather than acting like Bill and Melinda are doing them a favour by continuing to experiment on them.
