The History of Polio and Vaccines

I apologize to those who have read so many vaccine articles, but there is so much interesting and scary history in what has occurred since their release to the public, I think it should be looked at closely. So many different forms of evidence and what appears to be associations with vaccines and new problems plaguing society, it is easy to dismiss one as coincidence, but after a while we must begin to question the statistics of repeated coincidence as becoming more probable and less possible.

We all know the wonderful success of the Polio vaccine. Within a couple years of the release of the polio vaccine and widespread delivery of this new vaccine, the numbers dropped form tens of thousands of cases per year to a few hundred, and eventually to just a few, each caused by the vaccine itself, but the benefit obviously outweighed the risk. however, there is an interesting correlation between the history of polio and vaccines, specifically other vaccines. In the past I have heard many research doctors and statisticians speak of a correlation between polio outbreaks and new vaccines, but could never find the data to show it, so I did my own search to see for myself, and have posted the results here.

In the history of Polio and vaccines, Polio was in existence before vaccines but cases of polio were rare. however once vaccines came into the scene, things changed. Examine closely the correlation between the polio outbreaks and vaccine releases.

In 1890 the first Tetanus and Diphtheria vaccines were released, in 1896 the typhoid vaccine and 1897 the Bubonic Plague vaccine was introduced. In 1894 was the first ever outbreak of polio in the U.S., the numbers were small, but it was an outbreak. The subsequent years, the incidence of Polio continued to climb. by 1909 Massachusetts began counting reported cases of Polio, in 1916 we suffered a large outbreak with 9000 cases in New York City alone.

New vaccines: 1926 Pertussis, 1927 TB, 1932 Yellow Fever.

In 1932 another major outbreak of Polio with 2500 cases in Los Angeles alone.

Here is where it really gets interesting and becomes difficult to narrow down the causation, if the correlation between the Polio Outbreaks and vaccines is more than coincidence. Because the Tetanus vaccine was stronger back then, and was required more frequently, (I believe it was originally required annually or at least biannually), it appears that perhaps the Tetanus vaccine alone could have been a catalyst in Polio outbreaks, or perhaps it is a culmination of more and more vaccines being released, as the numbers of polio cases continue to rise from a once rare problem to a threatening epidemic that won't go away, (sounds like autism doesn't it). Now enter the year 1945!

In 1945 the first influenza vaccine was invented, and also during W.W.II the Tetanus vaccine was used vigorously, more so perhaps than any other time in history. Now, from 1945 through 1949 the largest Polio outbreak ever in the U.S. occurs with over 20,000 cases per year. Suddenly Polio became a major concern.

In 1952 the Polio vaccine was released, and in 1952 there were 58,000 cases of Polio.

The major outbreak in Polio immediately following the vaccine should be no surprise, we know that for at least the past 4 decades, every case of polio in the U.S. was caused by the Polio vaccine itself, and even the CDC acknowledges this. Most cases have been caused by the live virus vaccine given to one person, like a baby, then an unvaccinated parent would contract polio through diaper changing or other contact.

We also know that the Polio vaccine appears statistically to have nearly eliminated polio, but with the direct correlation of polio outbreaks with the introduction of other vaccines, one should be asking, where did polio come from? Is it pure coincidence that Polio was a rare illness throughout history until vaccines began to be used in a widespread program? Why did Polio simply choose the exact same time frame of vaccine releases to raise it's ugly head?

It is also a well known fact that the Polio vaccine was later discovered to have contained the Simian Virus 40, (SV40), a cancer causing virus that estimates range from 20 million to hundreds of millions of people could have been infected with, while the best guess estimate is roughly 98 million people that could die from cancer due to the Polio vaccine. This virus has been found in Mesothelioma, brain cancers, and other cancers.

If we are to be honest, and understanding that vaccines for the most part are injected and therefore bypass the bodies primary defense mechanism, we should look at these figures and ask, where did Polio come from? The outbreaks seems to follow concisely with the introduction of specific vaccines. If Polio were not associated with these vaccines, then why was polio not a major epidemic at any time in history before. Yes, Polio was heard of and did exist, but not in outbreaks or epidemics. Is it because vaccines weaken the immune system and leave us vulnerable to other viral and bacterial problems that were never before a major problem? Or is injecting animal tissue and other harmful ingredients into the human body causing damage that is allowing or perhaps even perpetuating a disease like polio.

If the correlation between polio outbreaks and vaccines is accurate, then many people suffered from polio instead of getting the measles, flu, perhaps tetanus, (and I am not downgrading the seriousness of tetanus), and with the introduction of SV40 and other before unheard of virus's into the human anatomy, now potentially hundreds of millions of people will die of cancer instead of developing a natural immunity to the measles or instead of suffering a few days with the flu.

In the end, the Polio vaccine was a life saver and gave peace to millions of people as Polio seems to set on the horizon as the even sun does, but what people do not realize is the possibility that Polio, Guillian Barre Syndrome, Encephylitis, autism and many other problems have apparently been aggravated, if not caused by the release of other vaccines. Maybe we don't know everything there is to know, and like so many other area's of science as we have learned from the past, there are things we don't know that do hurt us. Or are we so arrogant as to believe we know more than God and we cannot possibly be wrong.
