Congratulations anti-vaxxers! They said it couldn't be done!!

But you guys wouldn't take no for an answer - you brought POLIO back to the USA! Amazing!!

A young adult male in Rockland County NY, who didn't leave the country, has contracted polio (AKA poliomyelitis). They don't know where he got it, other than from some other infected person. Yes, he's unvaccinated, despite the requirement that all school age children be multiply vaccinated for polio.

He showed up at his doctor's office complaining of weakness and paralysis.
[quote]Polio is very contagious, and a person can spread the virus even if they aren't sick. Symptoms, which can be mild and flu-like (fatigue, fever, headache, stiffness, muscle pain, vomiting), can take up to 30 days to appear, during which time an infected individual can be shedding virus to others. Though rare, some polio cases can result in paralysis or death.

In this case, sequencing performed by the Wadsworth Center – NYSDOH's public health laboratory – and confirmed by CDC showed revertant polio Sabin type 2 virus. [/quote]

Yes, the paralysis is permanent and irreversible. And it all could have been prevented by a few routine doses of polio vaccine; CDC recommends total of four doses: 2 months old, 4 months old, 6 through 18 months old, and 4 through 6 years old.

Sixty plus years of hard work by doctors and epidemiologists and public health officials is starting to be undone by anti-vaxxers and the misinformation they spread. Lordy lordy, what does it mean when the ignorant spread POLIO in our great land??

MAGA. Just pray rather than innoculate with who knows what. That stuff can kill you.

@windinhishair You'd think if these guys were religious they'd be tired of getting it up the ass.

@Pitchblue @windinhishair MAGA Operation Warp Speed. You should be bowing at covid god, orange mans feet. Get your maga jabs

ElwoodBlues · M

@gol979 I agree that Op Warp Speed was the right way to spend a few billion. It was valuable insurance. But it turns out it was in no way essential.

Pfizer didn't take a PENNY from Op Warp Speed. Their mRNA vaccine was developed in Germany by a Turkish couple, and they were first to market.

Op Warp Speed funded 5 vaccine attempts, and two made it thru phase 3 trials - J&J and Moderna. They turned out to be a good insurance policy, but by no means essential.

And, lest we forget, the hydroxychloroquine Trump spent months pushing failed in randomized double blind placebo controlled testing.

@ElwoodBlues going for the double blind placebo controlled testing. Dude, your hypocrisy knows no bounds. Roll up for your maga jab and biden boosters. Woo hoo

ElwoodBlues · M

@gol979 Like the vast majority of vaccinated Americans, all three of my jabs were Pfizer. I know somebody who got Moderna though!

@ElwoodBlues mmmmm dna altering mrna. Delicious. Watch out for the reverse transcribe, pfizers special move

ElwoodBlues · M

@gol979 No more DNA altering than every cold virus you've ever had. Don't you understand how viruses work? ALL viruses hijack the machinery of a cell and send mRNA to the ribosomes to have more copies of their proteins manufactured. I repeat, ALL of your viral inections use their own genetic material and YOUR ribosomes to reproduce themselves.

So why aren't we always being altered genetically by every virus?

Evolution, baby!!! In the last billion or so years, animals have evolved strong mechanisms to protect their cellular nuclei from the inevitable invaders. This goes WAY back in evolutionary history, FAR before mammals existed.

Evolution, baby!!! Reject it at your peril!!!

gol979 · 41-45, M

@ElwoodBlues woop, woop. Mrna tech is now evolution. Keep juicing up buddy, im sure itll be fine. Orange man and brandon compel thee

ElwoodBlues · M

@gol979 woop, woop, you flunked the biology lesson.

I bet you're still swallowing the spew of those nutcase right-wing blogs who have been predicting "vaccine aids," am I right? They've been promising you that all us vaccinated folk would suffer a massive die-off because mRNA wrecked our immune systems, LOL!!!

And they've kept putting this amazing VAIDS event another month or two in the future for the past year, and you still believe it, am I right? Just like Qanon, tHe StOrM iS cOmInG!!! [b][i]ROTFL[/i][/b]

@gol979 MAGAs are dying at rates many times higher than the vaccinated and boosted. The rate of debilitating long covid is much higher as well for the MAGAs. Please maintain the denial, especially in swing states! The coronavirus doesn't care about politics and will continue to disproportionately kill and disable the MAGA crowd.

@gol979 [quote]dna altering mrna[/quote]
That's like saying "dry water".

gol979 · 41-45, M

@OggggO look up "reverse transcribe" in relation to the covid injection. Its all there for everyone to see

gol979 · 41-45, M

@windinhishair dude. You are MAGA altered with orange mans operation warp speed injections. You are all MAGA now 😉

ElwoodBlues · M

@gol979 [quote]look up "reverse transcribe"[/quote] I looked it up. Yep, an interesting thing happened in a few test tubes somewhere ("in vitro" literally means "in glass"). But as I said earlier, EVERY virus uses mRNA to hijack the cell's machinery. You've had foreign mRNA in your cells for EVERY cold in your life!!

Meanwhile, hundreds of millions of us completed our initial two doses over a year ago. Meanwhile, you guys have been predicting "Vaccine AIDS" for that year. Meanwhile, we're all doing fine, and 80% of Covid deaths occur among the 25% unvaxxed in the US. Meanwhile, you guys have suffered a pandemic of the unvaccinated.

Meanwhile, something north of 2 BILLION mRNA vaccines have been administered, and all developed nations' health care people are looking out for side effects - we're talking not just US, but UK, France Germany, Japan, Korea - all looking. Meanwhile,nothing untoward is happening among the vaccinated. 2 BILLION doses dude. Meanwhile, you guys had a pandemic of red counties in the US.

Everybody knows there is no risk free path in life. Everybody knows that every choice is a tradeoff. The numbers are telling us, at DEAFENING volume, that the vaccine is the lower risk choice. You anti-vaxxers are grasping at thinner and thinner straws to justify your choices. SAD!!

gol979 · 41-45, M

@ElwoodBlues cool. Youve changed your dna/genetic make up by injecting the toxic spike protein. You are an adult and made that choice. Im not getting into a data swapping match with you (copy and paste) but we all are starting to realise the tall story of the injection was a lie. Even the official narrative is vastly different from 2021 to now. They lied to us all

ElwoodBlues · M

@gol979 Nope. You're just making up sad little rationalizations.

@gol979 Look up what mRNA actually is. It can’t affect dna.

gol979 · 41-45, M

@windinhishair have you got your head buried. People have died because of the covid injection. Do you really think noone has died from the covid injection?

windinhishair · 61-69, M

@gol979 The number of people who have died after being injected is dwarfed by the number of covid dead. The injections have saved millions of people. Your approach is like not wearing seatbelts because every once in awhile, someone is thrown from a terrible wreck and survives. Dumb.

ElwoodBlues · M

@windinhishair His approach is like this guy with his carrot!
