Traffic accidents at traffic lights are up. But, I bet big government will continue installing more traffic lights. Don't worry though... I'm sure YOU will be okay.

The oral vaccine for polio has live virus in it, this situation is rare, but foreseeable. Injected polio vaccine will never create these scenarios. I'm not sure why it's not the one that's used in Sudan, perhaps cost, or lack of personnel.

@QuixoticSoul I get that; but they said 2016 was the last identified case.
Rank Country Birth rate (births/1,000 population)
1 Niger 47.51
2 Angola 42.69
3 Uganda 42.27
4 Mali 42.15
5 Benin 42.05
6 Chad 41.67
7 Congo 41.03
8 Zambia 40.43
9 Malawi 40.12
10 Sudan 38.78
That is the percentage per year per 1,000 people...times this by the population of Africa & then times that by 5yrs; that's a awful lot of children without polio to still be vaccinating.

@L33TH4X0R So - as long as polio exists anywhere (and there are countries where it's still endemic), people will keep vaccinating for it - it's a virus that spreads like absolute wildfire when it shows up. We haven't seen a polio outbreak in ages in the first world - and we're still vaccinating for it - because we know it's out there.
The real question here isn't why kids are being vaccinated - they should all be getting vaccinated - it's why WHO is allowing the use of a vaccine that the first world declared unsafe decades ago.

While some of us see your statement as common sense, the sheep will just dismiss it as they don't want the truth.
