I have been concerned for the past weeks as my delivery due date is getting closer. I know Polio can be letal for anybody, so I'm trap in a dilemma.
The current Polio Vax used in the States is the IPV (injectable) that contains MRC-5, while the more "ethical" OPV (oral) has long been discontinued.
I wouldn't want my baby to suffer due to polio in the future, however, the IPV (injectable) goes against my religious beliefs and is a clear catch from big pharma. They could have let the OPV one as an option, but they just wanted money.
Greedy bastards.
Any advices, alternatives?
Therefore, polio was/is a consequence of poor hygiene just like the bubonic plague that was due to the same matter.
Also, now that you talk about in Dominican Republic we had an outbreak of Ebola and Colera after the Haitians earthquake of 2010, however, there was no Vax and people who got infected recovered with antibiotics and hydration.
I, myself, survived Yellow fever and recovered hemorrhagic dengue fever without need of Vax.
This is a point that Dr. Robert Mendelsohn makes in his book: How To Have A Healthy Child: In Spite Of Your Doctor
