What Happened After Polio Vaccine Was Developed

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Polio reached its apex in the United States in 1952, with roughly 58, 000 new cases of the disease reported. People spent their summers, also called Polio Season, hiding inside, staying away from public swimming pools, movie theaters, and other communal spaces. Parents were so fearful of polio that they even purchased Infantile Paralysis insurance, the name for polio at the time, to protect themselves and their children. As a disease that afflicted thousands of children, adolescents, and adults each year, polio was devastating and incurable. Polio led to paralysis and, in many cases, death. With no cure available, vaccination was the only real hope

Dr. Salk was noble in choosing not to profit off of a life saving cure. This should be the requirement, not the occasional inspirational story. People shouldn't have to depend on one person having a good heart to get the life saving medical care that they need. There have always been people who strive to cure diseases out of altruism, or out of a desire to heal someone they love. As long as those invaluable people are well paid while they do their work, the cures won't stop coming. Patenting any medical treatment should be illegal, or else there should be a hard limit around how much any treatment or medication can cost, based on how much it actually costs to produce and administer it.

My mom has polio. She had to learn how to write with her left hand because she lost force in her right part of the entire body. She had to be in a hospital for a year in quarantine at age 5, that still affects her emotionally. She thankfully didn't have full paralysis. She grew to have a normal life, she finished high school, went to university and married. Now as she is getting older is hard to see her having more mobility problems. She catched polio around 1965. She coul have received a vaccine, but her town was very small in a third world country.

I once worked in a doctors office and received a call from a college student wanting to know if it would cost more to get antibody tests for or just get all the shots required to go to nursing school because her mother was an antivaxer and she never received any shots. She must of been homeschooled and took online college classes. I felt bad for her because she would have to get all those shots before going into any healthcare career.

The scariest thing about the Polio Epidemic of 1952 is not just the deaths of the children infected with the disease and their aftermaths, but the fact that it occurred during the era of Jim Crow and right before the early days of the Civil Rights Movement. God, I can only imagine how it mustve been like for all those African-American kids who were denied treatment for the disease. But how bad was it really?

Pro vaccine propaganda is fun to watch. Have to wonder if the cutter vaccination was introduced to allow only a small few to control and distribute medicine. I wish we could trust doctors and the health care system, but sadly when money is so plenty, instead of finding cures the huge profits demands that they create more diseases and small expensive steps to cure our long time diseases.

Im not an anti vaxxer by any means. Ive had all my shots and Im pro vax, but what does a computer nerd like Bill Gates, who cant stop his computers from getting viruses, know anything on immunizations? Im getting the corona vaccine when its available but not if its made by a Bill Gates owned company. Sorry not sorry.

Diseases I have that I'd for you to cover. Short list. 1) Achalasia, Sarcoidosis, no cure for either. The first one starved me and I went from 240 lbs. to 172 lbs. in about 5 months. I'm a big man,
6 ft. 2 and i had 4 surgeries, 2 feeding tubes and in and out of the hospitals with no income. Wife has good insurance.

The CIA has created a huge problem with vaccination efforts in the middle east. They were secretly using vaccine distribution as a method to secretly collect DNA samples for finding high value targets. Eventually people found out and would attack the non profits. The world should work on eradicating the CIA next.

These days, there are many with kids who refuse to get them vaccinated against polio, smallpox, and other deadly diseases because they say it's dangerous and unnatural, among other poorly thought-out excuses based in willful ignorance. They're only going to bring about new epidemics of these horrible illnesses.

I was a Polio Pioneer, one of the first people to get the Salk vaccine. I was in elementary school, early 1950's, and my parents signed me up for the test, as noted here. I was one that got the real deal, not the placebo. s
I had friends that got polio. The current anti-vaxxers piss the hell outta me; .

The most money you can actually make in this lifetime is developing a vaccine the figure is way beyond trillions. Now imagine the possibilities of making up scenarios where you would need vaccines. ,, ,
Plus Nearly All vaccines magically appeared once somebody else was elected. Every Single Time.

Many people here are just slamming anti vaxers. The cutter incident led to the polio vaccines harming thousands of children. My kids are vaccinated according to what was recommended when they were young. I'm not anti vax, but there is more to some stories then just what you see on the surface.

As a 65 year old, I remember well going to the court house and getting my sugar cube. The whole town went. No fighting, no screaming about his or her rights. For the good of all, everyone went. Also, Polio was not eradicated. It is still out there. We just have immunity to it now.

What's up with jews and vaccines? Was the cause an environmental toxin (DDT) or foodstuff situation (heavy metal, lead, etc. Is it Germ vs. Terrain theory that drive this? No one knows and those who know aren't saying it or aren't allowed to say it
reply

wth. the WHO? my gosh do your research please. I mean come on, it's the W. H. O. if you watch like 5 minutes of news it's hard NOT to know how to pronounce this. You guys should be utterly ashamed of yourselves. It's effing ridiculous.
reply

Can you imagine making a vaccine and then some terrible lab to instead makes a shot that injects polio directly infecting them and ruining their lives. Most polio victims did not die but were disabled for the rest of their lives.
reply

Poliomyelitis is POISONING OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM DUE TO DDT being sprayed EVERYWHERE including ON CHILDREN IN PUBLIC SWIMMING POOLS the VAXX spread it Still is around today Just under a different name of Gillian Barre Syndrome!
reply

The same time the polio vaccine was being tested on people in Africa the hiv/aids virus started. There is a claim that the chimpanzee DNA that had the virus and they used in the polio vaccine is how it transferred to humans.
reply

On October 28, 1956 Elvis got a polio vaccination on national TV. That single event was partly responsible for raising immunization levels in the country from 0. 6 percent to 80 percent in just six months.
reply

He demonstrates his confidence in the vaccine by administering it to himself, his wife and his children. If Bill Gates wants to convince me that his vaccines are safe then he needs to do the same
