My dad survived the polio epide.ic as a 5 yo. Then At 19 while his body was worn down from war it manifested itself. Because he was still growing he ended up with a short leg and damaged left foot.
Oh, polio can definitely be real bad - or deadly. My own mother got it as an 8 year old child way back in 1930. She caught it from her little sister who one day was perfectly fine then got some initial flu-like symptoms. 3 days later her sister was completely paralyzed and died before the doctors could even figure out what she had. A few days later my mom started showing symptoms of it. Thankfully by that time the doctors knew then what it was so were able to give her some kind of “serum shot” that stopped the progression of the paralysis. Not before her left arm was affected, however. The muscles in that arm were completely paralyzed and for the rest of her life she was unable to lift her arm or have full use of it. She considered herself lucky however, since she didn’t die of it - or end up in an “iron lung” like so many unfortunate others did. Mom never did learn what caused the disease or how/where her sister caught it. But she did make sure my brothers and I all got our polio shots when they were due. Even with all that being said however, I do understand any hesitancy toward getting any vaccine now after this whole Covid vax fiasco. Hard to have faith in anything medical these days!
I won't have another vaccine. I was already suspicious of them.
Once the vax scheme gets out then the 1917 Spanish 'flu pandemic may get re-examined.
There's a good likelyhood that those that died in 1917 had received the Rockefeller flu vaccine of the day.
Oh and the polio vaccine which causes polio, and the vaccines used in India and Africa to sterilise people.
There's already pressure from people suffering from autism who suspect vaccinations have contributed to their condition.
and peanut allergy for heaven's sake!
It's a dam ready to burst.
So will ibuprofen. It thins the gut so that things get through into the body that normally would not.
Good info

DDT spray for killing flies etc and spraying crops gave polio symptoms
