This Is How the Polio Crisis Could Spin Totally Out of Control

 

Polio has reappeared in the United States for the first time in a generation. On July 18, the New York State Department of Health told the U.S. Centers for Disease and Control and Prevention it had detected the poliovirus, which can cause paralysis or death in a small percentage of cases, in a young adult from Rockland County outside New York City.

 

New York authorities subsequently detected the virus in sewage in Rockland and neighboring Orange County—evidence of transmission in the local community.

 

That first case prompted authorities in the U.K. and Israel to increase their surveillance—they found polio too.

 

A polio crisis could be brewing. But despite describing polio as “one of the most feared diseases in the U.S.,” the CDC is trying to maintain total government control over testing for the poliovirus. Only the feds and certain states that already do polio testing would be equipped to monitor for the pathogen.

 

In withholding the testing materials and protocols, private labs—such as Massachusetts-based surveillance startup BioBot—would need to detect and track the virus, the CDC risks allowing the virus to spread unnoticed in some communities, while also limiting study of a potential outbreak.

 

Today 90 percent or more of people in the richest countries, including the U.S., are vaccinated against polio. But childhood vaccination rates have been slipping as anti-vax attitudes take hold in a growing minority of people. It’s no accident that Rockland County, where the CDC detected the poliovirus last month, has a lower vaccination rate than the rest of the country: around 60 percent.

 

“The occurrence of this case, combined with the identification of poliovirus in wastewater in neighboring Orange County, underscores the importance of maintaining high vaccination coverage to prevent paralytic polio in persons of all ages,” the CDC stressed in a report it posted last week.

So all of us vaccinated people would be fine, right?  And potentially all the unvaccinated could get really sick and/or die?

 

I'm good.

A group of nine people who sued every state in Australia barring one, as well as its federal government, over its COVID-19 measures has been ordered to pay $214,023 in legal costs after the case was thrown out by a judge earlier this year. The plaintiffs included a 19-year-old Instagram influencer who claimed she was hospitalized with blood clots in her chest after being “non-consensually double-vaccinated.”

Australian anti-vaxxers who sued state and federal governments forced to pay $214,023 in legal costs

 

A group of Australians against forced vaccination who tried to sue state and federal governments citing fears over “a new world order” have been slugged with $214,023 in legal costs after the case was thrown out of court.

 

Nine applicants took the fight to the Federal Court of Australia in October last year claiming that lockdowns and vaccine mandates were “being implemented or undertaken in the context of a new world order” and “constituted a breach of the Nuremberg Code”.

 

The “new world order” references a conspiracy theory popularised by far-right conspiracists QAnon which asserts that a secret totalitarian world government is emerging.

 

In their statement of claim, the group demanded then-Prime Minister Scott Morrison, “together with each of the Premiers and Chief Ministers of the States and Territories of Australia”, meet at the entrance to the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Canberra and deliver an apology.

Polio Outbreak Caused Because People Are Literally Ingesting Human Feces In NYC and London

 

Polio outbreaks in New York and London are spreading, in part, through human feces and bad sanitation habits.

 

One New York man was found to have been infected with polio earlier this summer, the first American case in years and he ended up temporarily paralyzed, according to ABC News. Authorities then discovered the virus spreading throughout the wastewater systems both in London and in various parts of New York, indicating that more cases are going undetected.

 

The New York man suffered from vaccine-derived poliovirus. There are two types of polio vaccines in common use today: an injection which uses a dead version of the virus, and an oral vaccine that uses a live, but weakened, version of the virus, according to the Polio Global Eradication Initiative.

 

 

While polio can spread through close contact and respiratory droplets, it can also spread through contact with feces. That’s why it’s more common to see polio outbreaks in countries with inferior sanitation systems.

 

“It spreads through contact with the stool (poop) of an infected person or droplets from a sneeze or cough. If you get stool or droplets from an infected person on your hands and you touch your mouth, you can get infected,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “Also, if your child puts objects, like toys, that have stool or droplets on them into their mouth, they can get infected.”

 

“The polio virus enters the body through the mouth, usually from hands contaminated with the stool of an infected person,” according to the New York Department of Health.

The inactivated polio vaccine used in the U.S. has a virtual 100% success rate at preventing paralysis from polio. But just under 94% of kindergarten-aged kids nationwide are vaccinated against the virus and the coronavirus pandemic has led to a resurgence in vaccine skepticism, according to the CDC.

 

The inactivated vaccine doesn’t necessarily prevent transmission of the virus, so it’s possible that vaccinated individuals who don’t experience symptoms are now passing it on to the unvaccinated, creating risk of more paralysis cases. New York wastewater samples show higher rates of shedding in feces in areas with lower vaccination rates, and the man who became infected in New York was unvaccinated.

 

“We probably could never have gotten on top of polio in the developing world without the (oral polio vaccine), but this is the price we’re now paying,” Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, told CBS News. “The only way we are going to eliminate polio is to eliminate the use of the oral vaccine.”

Anti-vaccine conservative Laura Loomer 'in so much pain' after contracting COVID-19

 

A former Republican candidate for Congress in Palm Beach County, who has been passionate against mask mandates and the COVID-19 vaccine, announced she is enduring a painful bout with the virus.

 

Conservative Laura Loomer wrote on the messaging app Telegram on Thursday that she had a fever, chills and severe body aches, describing it like getting "hit by a bus."

 

Loomer, an anti-Muslim conspiracy theorist who has been banned by Facebook and Twitter, said she later tested positive for COVID-19.

 

Despite contracting the virus, Loomer said she remains committed against getting the shot.

 

"I have not taken the COVID-19 vaccine, and I don't plan on ever taking it because it is unsafe and ineffective," Loomer wrote on Telegram.

New York declares state of emergency over polio to boost low vaccination rates

 

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Friday declared a state of emergency over polio to boost vaccination rates in the state amid further evidence that the virus is spreading in communities.

Poliovirus has now been detected in sewage samples from four counties in the New York metro area as well as in the city itself. The counties are Rockland, Orange, Sullivan, and the latest, Nassau.

 

The samples tested positive for poliovirus that can cause paralysis in humans, according to state health officials. Unvaccinated individuals who live, work, go to school or visit Orange, Rockland, Nassau, New York City and Sullivan are at the highest risk of paralytic disease, officials said.

 

New York began wastewater surveillance after an unvaccinated adult caught polio in Rockland County in July and suffered from paralysis, the first known infection in the U.S. in nearly a decade.

 

The emergency declaration will expand the network of vaccine administrators to include pharmacists, midwives and EMS workers in an effort to boost the immunization rate in areas where it has slipped.

 

New York Health Commissioner Dr. Mary Bassett called on people who are unvaccinated to get their shots immediately. Individuals and families who are unsure of their vaccination status should contact a health care provider, clinic or the county health department to make sure they are up to date on their shots.

 

“On polio, we simply cannot roll the dice,” Bassett said. “I urge New Yorkers to not accept any risk at all. Polio immunization is safe and effective — protecting nearly all people against disease who receive the recommended doses.”

Anti-vax groups use carrot emojis to hide Facebook posts

 

Facebook groups are using the carrot emoji to hide anti-vax content from automated moderation tools.

 

The BBC has seen several groups, one with hundreds of thousands of members, in which the emoji appears in place of the word "vaccine".

 

Facebook's algorithms tend to focus on words rather than images.

 

The groups are being used to share unverified claims of people being either injured or killed by vaccines.

 

Once the BBC alerted Facebook's parent company, Meta, the groups were removed.

 

"We have removed this group for violating our harmful misinformation policies and will review any other similar content in line with this policy. We continue to work closely with public health experts and the UK government to further tackle Covid vaccine misinformation," the firm said in a statement.

 

However, the groups have since re-appeared in our searches.

 

One group we saw has been around for three years but rebranded itself to focus on vaccine stories, from being a group for sharing "banter, bets and funny videos" in August 2022.

 

The rules of the very large group state: "Use code words for everything". It adds: "Do not use the c word, v word or b word ever" (covid, vaccine, booster). It was created more than a year ago and has more than 250,000 members.

 

Marc Owen-Jones, a disinformation researcher, and associate professor at Hamad Bin Khalifa University in Qatar, was invited to join it.

 

"It was people giving accounts of relatives who had died shortly after having the Covid-19 vaccine", he said. "But instead of using the words "Covid-19" or "vaccine", they were using emojis of carrots.

 

"Initially I was a little confused. And then it clicked - that it was being used as a way of evading, or apparently evading, Facebook's fake news detection algorithms."

Screw it, lets have another pandemic, this time no one can be forced to get vaccinated. After about 6 months of hardship, most of these idiots should be dead and our country can move forward, minus the dead weight.

Safe to say that Kyrie really doesn’t have a grasp on human history and the multitudes of human rights “violations” contained therein.

Kyrie shoulda stayed at Duke for more than a year. He possibly could have learned about stuff and things. 😁

Put them in a closet, make them do their job and then ignore them on payday.

"Why are they putting 5G everywhere? "

 

The same reason they put 4G or 3G everywhere. So my phone works while I'm driving around singing public domain songs out the window. 🤪

 

Besides mind control isn't anything one should be concerned with. Brain control is what you really need to be cautious of.

You know what would probably do a really good job of blocking shed vaccines? Masks. I bet masks would be AMAZING at blocking all that awful shed vaccine. Maybe these anti-vaxx parents should send a message to the school about how they don't approve of vaccines by sending their kids to school in masks.
