A Milestone in Africa: No Polio Cases in a Year
It has been one full year since polio was detected anywhere in Africa, a significant milestone in global health that has left health experts around the world quietly celebrating.
The goal had seemed tantalizingly close in recent years, but polio always managed to roar back, particularly in Nigeria. Then officials embraced a vigorous new approach to vaccination and surveillance in that country, hiring thousands of community “mobilizers” to track down the unvaccinated, opening operations centers nationwide to monitor progress and seeking out support from clerics and tribal chiefs.
The result has been remarkable.

Hopefully they used a vaccine that does not have SV40 or any other bizarre animal viruses, etc. in it!

Polio wasn't vanquished; It was redefined.
In 1954 the U.S. government simply redefined polio. Yes, the government can do that. It does this kind of stuff occasionally in order to help it meet its public policy objectives when it is unable to actually achieve them....After 1954, residual paralysis was determined 10 to 20 days and again 50 to 70 days after the onset of the disease. This change in definition meant that in 1955 we started reporting a new disease, namely, paralytic poliomyelitis with a longer lasting paralysis.1
Under the new definition of polio, thousands of cases which would have previously been counted as polio would no longer be counted as polio. The change in the definition laid the groundwork for creating the impression that the Salk vaccine was effective.

Health officials convinced the Chinese to rename the bulk of their polio cases Guillaine Barre Syndrome (GBS). A study found that the new disorder (Chinese Paralytic Syndrome) and the GBS was really polio. After mass vaccination in 1971, reports of polio went down but GBS increased about 10 fold…….In the WHO polio vaccine eradication in the Americas, there were 930 cases of paralytic disease—all called polio. Five years later, at the end of the campaign, roughly 2000 cases of paralytic disease occurred—but only 6 of them were called polio. The rate of paralytic disease doubled, but the disease definition changed so drastically that hardly any of it was called polio anymore.”

Re: A Milestone in Africa: No Polio Cases in a Year
How interesting to see this. Thanks to Bill, Kirsten, and Judy for your posts. I long for a truly open, public inquiry/discussion between folks who are well-versed in the science and the data about the efficacy of the polio vaccine, and whose salary does not depend on the slant of their testimonies. Too bad it seems unlikely that we could depend on the government to do it. The revolving doors between government and industry insure an industry bias towards maximizing corporate profit rather than public well-being.
How about an even-handed inquiry led by someone with the credibility of Bill Moyers?

Re: A Milestone in Africa: No Polio Cases in a Year
Thank you SharingWisdom and Karl for realizing how important it is to honestly view ALL facts to assess the truth and identify propaganda. First, yes, the mountains of evidence in documents from the 1950's already outraged at how the 'books were cooked' paint a clear picture that the Sabin vaccine had nothing to do with the elimination of polio.
Now, this supposed 'milestone' is no victory if the lab created polio virus types 1 & 3 vaccine and/or mutated wild #2 injected into Nigerians in the first place were supposedly eliminated leaving the world with an even more virulent lab created strain resistant to vaccine according to Bonn University, Germany...
FACT: Polio lives harmlessly in our guts and is not problematic until it gets into drinking water, soil etc as a result of poor sanitation. In most cases polio is a mild illness, causing flu-like symptoms that disappear in two to 10 days.
FACT: Polio is cut down or wiped out not by vaccine, but by removal of sewage from water and environment.... as when the US first began to remove sewage from drinking water and swimming areas in the early 1950s.
FACT: The biggest threat now are the new mutated unnatural viruses created by the vaccines that spread just like in Nigeria - the natural, wild virus was already gone before the re-introduction of a live strain that mutated in 2004.

Polio Surge In Nigeria After Vaccine Virus Mutates
By MARIA CHENG, AP Medical Writer
8-15-2009
The polio vaccine used in the United States and other Western nations is given in shots, which use a killed virus that cannot cause polio. Nigeria and most other poor nations use an oral polio vaccine because it's cheaper and easier, but it is made from a live polio virus which can mutate into a deadlier version that ignites new outbreaks.
So when WHO officials discovered a polio outbreak in Nigeria was sparked by the polio vaccine itself, they assumed it would be easier to stop than a natural "wild" virus.
They were wrong.
“It was an oversight on our part,” Dr. Bruce Aylward, director of the polio eradication campaign for the W.H.O
In 2007, WHO reported that 69 children had been paralyzed in a new outbreak caused by the mutation of a vaccine's virus. Two years later, cases continue to mount and they have since identified polio cases linked to the vaccine dating back as far as 2005.
This year, the number of polio cases CAUSED BY THE VACCINE has doubled and for every case of paralysis, there are hundreds of other children who don't develop symptoms, but pass on the disease.
The live polio virus from the vaccine can remain in your throat for one to two weeks and in your feces for up to two months and virus is passed into the water supply through urine or feces. By the time Nigerian leaders suspended this particularly dangerous batch of polio vaccinations in 2003 Nigeria had already exported polio to nearly two dozen countries worldwide, making it as far away as Indonesia......

Mutated Polio Virus Evades Vaccination
Bonn University, Germany
Polio is considered nearly eradicated worldwide, however, new disturbing research shows that a mutated virus was able to resist the vaccine protection, potentially leading to future outbreaks.
Researchers from Universität Bonn report that this mutated strain is behind an outbreak in the Congo in 2010 - which led to 209 deaths - and possibly infected people in Germany as well. What's important, researchers stress, is that many of those affected had apparently been vaccinated, based on surveyed participants. Until now, the vaccination had been considered a highly effective weapon for containing the polioviruses that cause the disease.
"We isolated polio-viruses from the deceased and examined the viruses more closely," study leader Dr. Jan Felix Drexler explained in a university press release. "The pathogen carries a mutation that changes its form at a decisive point."
They tested blood samples from 34 medical students of the University of Bonn, all who were vaccinated as children. Initial results showed that the antibodies in the blood of the test subjects had no problem combating "normal" polio viruses. However, with the mutated virus, the immune reaction was much weaker.
"We estimate that one in five of our Bonn test subjects could have been infected by the new polio virus, perhaps even one in three," added researcher Christian Drosten.
This new mutated virus floating around out there is a threat to all previous hard work done to eliminate this disease completely.
