The polio vaccine: a critical assessment of its arcane history, efficacy, and long-term health-related consequences

Abstract

Polio (poliomyelitis) is a potentially dangerous viral ailment. To combat this disease, researchers developed two polio vaccines (inactivated and live) grown in cultures made from monkey kidneys. Beginning in the 1950s, these vaccines were administered to millions of people in the United States and throughout the world. Officially, the polio vaccine is considered safe and effective, and has been credited with singularly reducing the incidence of this disease. These tenets are not supported by the data.A cancer-causing monkey virus-SV-40-was discovered in polio vaccines administered to millions of people. SV-40 has been found in brain tumors, bone cancers, lung cancers and leukemia. SV-40 is transmitted through sexual intercourse, and from mother to child in the womb. Monkeys that were used to make polio vaccines were infected with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), a virus closely related to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the infectious agent associated with AIDS. Some researchers question whether HIVs may simply be SIVs "residing in and adapting to a human host." Polio vaccines also contain calf serum, glycerol and other parts of the cow that may have been infected with bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), or mad cow disease, a fatal brain-wasting ailment that some researchers link to Cruetzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD), its human equivalent.Current disease reduction techniques that emphasize short-term gains over long-term health consequences need to be reevaluated and discontinued while new and safer health paradigms are researched and implemented.

Killed whole-HIV vaccine; employing a well established strategy for antiviral vaccines

“…The third commercially available antiviral vaccine is the killed-whole virus vaccine. This vaccine strategy has prevented many viral diseases such as polio, influenza, rabies, and hepatitis A [ 16 – 19 ]. In addition, there are at least 16 licensed killed whole-virus vaccines available to protect against various viral diseases in animals.…”

Enhancing vaccination strategies for epidemic control through effective lockdown measures

“…Many previously widespread and fatal infectious diseases have been effectively controlled or eliminated through vaccination efforts. Vaccines have been instrumental in drastically reducing or eradicating viruses like smallpox [ 8 ], diphtheria [ 9 ], measles [ 10 ], and polio [ 11 ] in various parts of the world. Vaccinations have also played a vital role in decreasing the prevalence of infections such as influenza [ 12 ], pneumonia [ 13 ], human papillomavirus (HPV) [ 14 ], and hepatitis [ 15 ].…”

Global Stability of a SVEIR Epidemic Model: Application to Poliomyelitis Transmission Dynamics

“…Poliovirus is predominantly transmitted via mother and food contaminated. In the most of case, infection is asymptomatic but the persons infected can transmit disease via their feces [4]. When a susceptible is exposed to infection by a virulent poliovirus, we can observe few days or few weeks three types of responses (minor illness, aseptic meningitis, and paralytic poliovirus).…”
