When someone talks of any disease, in this day and age, they're often just repeating what they were told by the government. When someone today repeats anything about polio and polio elimination based on vaccination, they're repeating known lies, told by known liars. Repeating what you're told and in

The polio epidemic is very interesting once you take the time to really investigate the timeline of events and other likely factors behind the spike in polio cases. So many theories on this. Here’s a few for you to explore: 

• Something else caused the paralysis known as polio and vaccines actually increased the paralysis, which in turn was blamed on a polio virus that never existed. 
• The Cutter disaster was completely unnecessary which is what Dr. Offit will never tell you, as polio is/was a man-made disease, from DDT that got into the milk supply or circulated in the air from crop spraying (as shown by researchers: Jim West, Ralph R. Scobey, M.D., and Morton S. Biskind, M.D.) and medical injections such as antibiotics and vaccines themselves. Yes, vaccines were and are a major cause of polio! 
• The first cases of polio in children who received the tainted vaccine were reported to regulators on April 25, 1955 - two weeks after the nation began a drive to vaccinate millions of schoolchildren. Before it was over, 164 people would suffer permanent paralysis from the Cutter vaccine or from the outbreak of polio triggered by it. Ten others died. Source: (21) National Institute of Health 
• From Harpars Magazine, 1955; “THE BEST WAY to unravel the Great Vaccine Mess is to set down, first, a simple chronology of events as they were seen, let's say, by an average newspaper reader or TV viewer. Then we can get on to some other things that also happened-though they were not in the papers to an examination of what went wrong.” 
• Dr. John Bergman has produced an excellent video that explains, through science and a timeline, exactly what happened. 
• Here’s an article from GreenMed about the Polio myth and polio vaccine-induced polio. 
• The search of MEDLINE (“polio” and “poison”) finds about 45 contemporary articles where polio-like disease is attributed to poison.
• Concerns about tonsillectomies coincided with indications that pediatric injections could also incite polio paralysis and a report that emerged from Guy's and Evelina Hospitals, London, in 1950, found that 17 cases of polio paralysis developed in the limb injected with pertussis or tetanus inoculations. A further theory advanced by Harold K Faber of the Stanford University School of Medicine argued that the ubiquitous poliovirus, already present on the skin of many children, was being driven into the body during immunizations and thus seeded deep into the tissue. 
• 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) was apple orchards. President Roosevelt became paralyzed overnight 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 runoff. (See more below)
• 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.

• Polio outbreaks hit throughout the summer, only during pesticide spraying times. (not the sunless and damp winter/spring seasons regarding other disease outbreaks)
• Read The Moth in the Iron Lung!  The mid-book talks about the popular tonsil/adenoid removal in 1920 and the surge of bulbar polio.

Polio is also spread via the fecal-oral route (i.e., the virus is transmitted from the poop of an infected person to the mouth of another person from contaminated hands or such objects as eating utensils.) Source: (23) CDC  

In case you didn't know, vaccines were (and are) spreading polio. "On September 24, 1976, the Washington Post reported Dr. Salk's assertion that the Sabin live oral virus vaccine had been the "principal if not sole cause" of every reported polio case in the United States since 1961. Salk repeated this accusation on July 6, 1977, when he was interviewed on CBC television, saying: "We have known now since 1961 in the United States, and prior to that in other countries, that the live virus vaccine for polio does cause the disease itself." This is where he said that in 1977 on television. Proof."

The chances of getting polio worldwide are over 1 in 19 million according to data from 2014. Most cases are asymptomatic, meaning you have no symptoms.

• Breast milk also kills polio according to the Inventor of the Polio Vaccine. Albert Sabin, inventor of the oral polio vaccine, did the first study on the anti-polio properties of breast milk. He infected mice with polio and then took breast milk from 71 American women and fed it to the mice. The breast milk had an 84% success rate at neutralizing polio. Source: Breast milk protects against HIB and Meningitis. According to the Journal of Epidemiology, it can protect against HIB for up to 10 years after you have stopped breastfeeding.  "For each week of breastfeeding, the protection improved,”  Oxford Journal of Medicine.

• What about the iron lung? It’s always mentioned when people talk about Polio. They were used to help people breathe when their lung muscles became paralyzed. They were negative-pressure machines used for mechanical ventilation—essentially, ventilators. The iron lung didn’t disappear. Science advanced and we have respirators.

Poliomyelitis belongs to the family of enterovirus, which is common.  Acute flaccid paralysis, transverse myelitis, Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), and myasthenia gravis are just some of the labels given to people with sudden weakness (to name a couple.) The latter of which is a common & devastating side-effect listed in vaccine inserts & often compensated in vaccine court. Over the last sixty years in the U.S., more than a million cases of what would have been diagnosed as polio pre-vaccine – same symptoms – were given different labels.

The Journal of Pediatrics confirms stories about the renaming of polio that says even though GBS (Guillain Bar Syndrome) clusters happened with OPV, there’s not a strong enough link to create causation: Prior to the introduction of the polio vaccine, polio was not diagnosed as it is today. In the 50s and 60s, reports of polio were recorded as polio, without the testing that began to be required after the vaccine was introduced. 95% of polio cases are not associated with paralysis, and in most cases of polio, only temporary paralysis is experienced. After the vaccine, cases were not recorded as polio unless paralysis was in two or more limbs and lasted for longer than 60 days. This alone was huge in the "disappearance" of polio after the vaccine was introduced. The graph is from the Ratner report, the transcript of a 1960 panel sponsored by the Illinois Medical Society, on which sat three PhD statisticians and an MD, met to discuss the problems with the ongoing polio vaccination campaign.

And, critically, before the vaccine was licensed polio diagnoses were made clinically and accepted from around the nation, duly reported to the American public annually as polio, no lab analysis required, while after it was licensed only the CDC was – and is – allowed to issue confirmations of paralytic polio – all suspected cases had to be sent to them for analysis and testing. Source: (32) CDC

Remember Roosevelt? A group of researchers published a case study in the Journal of Medical Biography arguing that he may not have had polio but Guillain-Barré syndrome instead. “No one can be absolutely sure of the cause of Roosevelt's paralysis because relevant laboratory diagnostic tests were not available at the time of his illness," said Armond Goldman, professor emeritus of medicine at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. "But a retrospective analysis favours the diagnosis of GBS," The Global Mail. 

Prior to 1954, the following undoubtedly hid behind the name “poliomyelitis”: Transverse Myelitis, viral or “aseptic” meningitis, Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS)- (what Franklin Delano Roosevelt had), Chinese Paralytic syndrome, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, epidemic cholera, cholera morbus, spinal meningitis, spinal apoplexy, inhibitory palsy, intermittent fever, famine fever, worm fever, bilious remittent fever, ergotism, post-polio syndrome, acute flaccid paralysis(AFP). Searching the government database at pubmed.gov reveals over 5000 articles with the terms “vaccine” and “myelitis.”

The oral polio vaccine is a known cause of acute flaccid paralysis. After 40 years of causing thousands of cases of polio from the vaccine, the CDC removed the oral vaccine from it’s US schedule. The United States moved to the inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) in 2000, after the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended altogether eliminating the live-virus oral polio vaccine. Sadly, millions around the world are still given the oral polio vaccine. A child who may have never had symptoms from the wild polio virus, (like the  95% who don’t according to the CDC) is now stricken with paralysis from a man-made vaccine.

Six cases were acquired outside the United States and imported. The last imported case was reported in 1993. Two cases were classified as indeterminate (no poliovirus isolated from samples obtained from the patients, and patients had no history of recent vaccination or direct contact with a vaccine recipient). The remaining 154 (95%) cases were vaccine-associated paralytic polio (VAPP) caused by live oral polio vaccine." And "In order to eliminate VAPP from the United States, ACIP recommended in 2000 that IPV be used exclusively in the United States. The last case of VAPP acquired in the United States was reported in 1999. In 2005, an unvaccinated U.S. resident was infected with the polio vaccine virus in Costa Rica and subsequently developed VAPP. A second case of VAPP from vaccine-derived poliovirus in a person with long-standing combined immunodeficiency was reported in 2009. The patient was probably infected approximately 12 years before the onset of paralysis. Also in 2005, several asymptomatic infections with a vaccine-derived poliovirus were detected in unvaccinated children in Minnesota. The source of the vaccine virus has not been determined, but it appeared to have been circulating among humans for at least 2 years based on genetic changes in the virus. No VAPP has been reported from this virus." Source (37) The CDC

This study shows those vaccinated are able to spread polio. For 2 months polio was running through their community, via VDPV, and only 1 child, immunocompromised, had any issue!  Polio is not the "killer/iron lung-er it's portrayed to be. 95% of polio who contract polio never even know they have it.
