The truth about Polio

In response to http://gaia-health.com/gaia-blog/2013-03-28/paralysis-haunts-polio-free-india/

//India has a surge of children with paralysis.//
LIE
BIG FAT LIE
India has grossly reduced number of children with paralysis

1. How many cases of residual paralysis due to polio occurred in 1910 in India

2. How many cases of residual paralysis due to polio occurred in 1920 in India

3. How many cases of residual paralysis due to polio occurred in 1930 in India

4. How many cases of residual paralysis due to polio occurred in 1930 in India

5. How many cases of residual paralysis due to polio occurred in 1940 in India

6. How many cases of residual paralysis due to polio occurred in 1950 in India

7. How many cases of residual paralysis due to polio occurred in 1960 in India

8. How many cases of residual paralysis due to polio occurred in 1970 in India

9. How many cases of residual paralysis due to polio occurred in 1980 in India

10. How many cases of residual paralysis due to polio occurred in 1990 in India

11. How many cases of residual paralysis due to polio occurred in 2000 in India

12. How many cases of residual paralysis due to polio occurred in 2010 in India

// The causes are not hard to identify: the oral polio vaccine and redefinition of polio-induced paralysis to “acute flaccid paralysis”. The result of this fiasco is a plan to give non-live polio vaccines—and it comes at huge cost, negating the reason for using the oral vaccine.//

WRONG Again
OPV has reduced Residual Paralysis to ZERO in 2010

//Polio, often thought of as synonymous with paralysis and disability, has been given a new name in India.//
WRONG
Polio is still called Polio

//It is now known as AFP or acute flaccid paralysis. //
AFP is Acute Flaccid Paralysis due to any condition, including Polio

//This and the fact that cases of polio caused by the oral polio vaccine (OPV) are not being reflected as polio have ensured that India is into its second year of “polio free” status.//
WRONG
Polio is still called as Polio

//After this charade is maintained for one more year, India will be certified by the WHO as “polio free” and will be showcased as a success story of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative that was launched in 1988 by the World Health Assembly.//
If there are no cases of Polio reported, we will say it is eradicated
What is wrong here

//Smallpox was declared eradicated in 1980.//
Because of vaccines
By the way
Do you see children with Pox Scars these days


//According to medical researcher Professor William Muraskin, the experts involved in this exercise were looking for another opportunity to flaunt their skills. When they chose polio many eyebrows were raised. Polio was not on the priority radar of the countries where this exercise was to be launched. These developing nations were struggling to provide basic health needs. India, for example, is incapable of providing clean water, sanitation, hygiene, and nutrition for a majority of its population even 65 years after Independence. [Please see HEEALS for an on-the-ground organization in India dealing with this issue. --Editor]//
This is exactly why we need to eradicate polio


//Furthermore OPV was chosen to be the only weapon to eradicate polio.//
Because Administration is easy
The advantage of OPV is herd immunity and that is because those vaccinated tend to shed the virus in their stool,
Also OPV Can be given in camps
OPV Can be given by non medical personnel and para medical personnel too

// Dr T Jacob John pointed out that this vaccine, consisting of live viruses, is notorious for causing vaccine induced polio.//
Yes
But
How many cases have been caused
Not even 1 in one million

//Because those vaccinated tend to shed the virus in their stool, it can mutate into a virulent form, causing paralytic polio in others, even leading to polio epidemics.//
WRONG
The advantage of OPV is herd immunity and that is because those vaccinated tend to shed the virus in their stool,

//Dr. Anant Phadke and C. Sathyamala argued that it is not possible to eradicate polio, a disease primarily of poor sanitation and nutrition, with a vaccine.//
The data that there is no case these days in India
And
That the number of cases is inversely proportional to the vaccination percentage show that their arguments are wrong

//Polio-like paralysis can also be caused by other factors. //
Exactly
We call that NPAFP

//DDT and other pesticides, exposure to lead and arsenic, and vaccinations can trigger paralysis. //
But in those cases, there won't be any polio virus in stools

//Thus a holistic approach was needed to tackle the disease.//
Yes

//Medical textbooks reveal that exposure to polio viruses rarely results in paralysis. More than 95% of those exposed will show no symptoms at all. Of the rest, many will exhibit symptoms resembling a common cold, a few will suffer temporary lameness, and fewer than 1% will exhibit permanent paralysis.//

// Exposure to the polio virus is actually the best immunity against viral polio. //
Exactly
But
Exposure to the VACCINE polio virus is actually the best immunity against viral polio. and that is why we are vaccinating

//It offers permanent immunity to more than 99% exposed to it. //
Wild virus gives deformity
Vaccine virus gives protection

//According to Dr Yash Paul, those who become permanently paralyzed may have some inherent susceptibility that should be investigated.//
Exactly
Those who get vaccine derived polio may have some inherent susceptibility that should be investigated.

//Dr. Phadke pointed out that smallpox and polio eradication are two entirely different things.//
YES

// Polio viruses can infect children without causing any external symptoms and thus remain in circulation.//
Same with Small Pox too

//He alleged that it was for the benefit of the developed nations, who could stop their vaccination programs once the wild polio virus was eradicated worldwide, and for the manufacturers, who were promoting the program because the OPV was discontinued in the developed countries due to its risks, that the polio eradication strategy was launched.//
Wrong

// This eradication effort, costing over 1.2 billion rupees, has broken the back of the Indian health system.//
But has given a generation of children without crutches
Has given a health generation

//The National Polio Surveillance Project data show that the polio eradication program has increased paralysis among children—from 3,047 cases yearly in 1997 to 61,038 cases in 2012, most now being classified as AFP instead of polio.//
Yes
The number of AFP reported indicate the surveillance is working
But almost all of these are NPAFP

//The Government does not reveal how many of these cases are due to the vaccine.//
WRONG
It has revealed
Few dozen cases in this millennium

//It was observed in 2005 that, against 66 cases of polio caused by the wild polio virus that year, 1,645 were caused by the vaccine.//
Which country ??

// Data reveals that those vaccinated are 6.26 times more likely to be paralyzed.//
WRONG Data

//Many mutated virus strains are running loose in India. In Japan, after three months of use, 16 extremely virulent strains of the vaccine viruses and 78 strains in total were found in sewage and in its rivers.//
Before vaccination ALL Virulent Strains
After vaccination 16 virulent strains and 62 non virulent strains
This is success of vaccination

//India has been using the vaccine since 1978, intensively since 1997, and one cannot even imagine how many virulent strains could be circulating in this country that is devoid of basic sewerage disposal and sanitation facilities.//
Actually
The number of non virulent strains are more and virulent strains have gone done
This is the concept of herd immunity

//Why are more than 60,000 children in India becoming paralyzed every year?//
Due to causes other than polio

// Dr Neetu Vashisht has analyzed that the cases of AFP in India are directly proportionate to the number of doses of OPV given, implying a relationship.//
AFP means Polio AFP and Non Polio AFP
AFP indicated good surveillance
Does of OPV indicate good vaccination
So
There will be a relation

But

This does not means paralysis is more
On the contrary

Paralysis is LESS with vaccines
Paralysis is INVERSELY Proportional to OPV


//Taking into consideration the normal AFP rate, it has been deduced that in 2011, India has suffered 47,500 extra cases of paralysis.//
What is this normal AFP rate
How was this arrived at

What are the causes of this 47500 paralysis
Data please


//Studies have shown that death rates in children with AFP are twice as high as the death rate among children with polio paralysis.//

What studies
Reference please

//In Brazil, a study has implicated this vaccine in cases of Guillain Barré Syndrome, transverse myelitis, and facial palsy. Thus the claim of the Government that these cases of paralysis have no relation to the vaccine merits extensive investigation.//
Yes


//In April 2004 a memorandum was submitted to the WHO, UNICEF and the Government of India by Prof. Debabar Bannerjee and other eminent doctors pointing out that the WHO inflated 32,419 cases of polio to 350,000 to justify the program.//
Reference please

// The definition of polio has been changed repeatedly since the program was launched, thus automatically leading to a drastic fall in the number of cases. //
What was the change
Data please

//A significant number of children declared polio-affected by the polio virus were sufficiently vaccinated, and that children were being rendered paralytic directly due to the vaccine.//
What is this significant number
1 or 2
1 million or 2 million



//The memorandum also pointed out that polio eradication was not possible in India, as the vaccine viruses had mutated into virulent strains and were circulating. //
WRONG
Data shows that polio eradication is possible

//In August 2006, the Indian Medical Association reiterated the above and called for identifying the unfortunate victims and compensating them.//
Agreed

//Today, throwing all caution to the wind, children are being given an unprecedented 50 doses of the vaccine and even those who should be medically exempt are being vaccinated.//
50 Polio vaccines ??

// Dr Puliyel reveals that a synthetic version of the polio virus with a formula called ‘CHNOPS’ makes a mockery of the eradication effort.//
???

//Dr Pushpa Bhargava points out that polio was already on the decline even before the eradication effort began. //
That was due to routine immunisation

//Polio in India was concentrated in a few pockets of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, which accounted for 96% of the cases reported.//
because routine immunisation was low in those areas

// Improving sanitation and nutrition in these areas, along with routine rounds of the relatively safer inactivated polio vaccine (IPV), would have drastically reduced polio without resorting to the chicanery that has resulted in an unprecedented toll of disability in children in all parts of the country.//

No
It would not have

//Hidden in the packet inserts of the OPV is an ominous statement saying that the vaccine has not been tested for causing cancer or infertility.//
OK

//The presence of untested monkey viruses, and phenol and polysorbate 80, both of which are endocrine disruptors, in the vaccine raises concerns.//
OK

// It is also known that the vaccine virus strains can lie latent in the body and cause polio decades after administration.//
Reference please
incidence please

//India is now preparing to launch the much costlier IPV all over the country, which will require money and trained manpower at a scale that it currently does not have, to counter the vaccine viruses in circulation. //

This is why OPV was important

First you give OPV
Develop Herd Immunity

Then give IPV

//The wild polio viruses, which actually conferred immunity to children, are now no longer widely prevalent,//
Wrong and Right
WRONG
Wild virus gave deformity
Vaccine virus gave immunity
RIGHT: Wild virus are now no longer widely prevalent, because of OPV and this is a success of the programme

// leaving future children exposed to unexpected epidemics. //
Wrong
Vaccine virus protects
Since Wild virus is replaced by vaccine virus, it protects children

//The so called benefits of polio eradication have eluded this indebted country and its children face an uncertain future. //
WRONG
Children face a certain future
They are not lame

//It is important that lessons from this misadventure be learnt to oppose future assaults on the children of our country.//
YES
We need to counter the bio terrorists who spread wrong info against vaccines. These bio terrorists are funded by enemy nations to make future generations blind, lame and deaf
