"Polio vaccine myth" - an article to think about?

[rosi7]

yes, I think the English is terrible and the argument totally specious. The guy is an American, so a native English speaker. He should be so ashamed of his writing. 'Polio was a very popular disease in the mid 1990s...'

quote from the 'about me'

'I?ve gone through 3 levels of school, several jobs, have travelled and even studied throughout Canada, the US, and Europe all without never having received a single vaccination.'

all the dangerous disease hotspots, I see..

do not toss this aside lightly. Throw it with great force.

What a load of illiterate bollocks.

that is the biggest load of shite i have evr read

I was going to say would anyone really take seriously an article that starts "Polio was a popular disease" Then goes on to link to "Whale" and "Natural News". Just about says it all

complete hogwash - a waste of electrons.

Some of the information in the OP link is at:

www.cdc.gov/vaccines/pubs/pinkbook/downloads/polio.pdf

www.medic8.com/infectious-diseases/polio.htm

of course it is Orphadeus, it is a typical tactic of germ-denialists (and anti-vaccinationists) to mix some real info with random crap. That doesn't make the random crap any better though..

'During 1962 U.S. Congressional hearings, Dr. Bernard Greenberg, head of the Dept. of Biostatistics for the University of North Carolina School of Public Health, testified..'

I've been looking for that in the online archives.

On another site www.relfe.com/vaccine.html, the source (39) is given as 'Hearings before the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, House of Representatives, 87th Congress, Second Session on H.R. 10541, May 1962, p.94.'

We appear to be on to something here:

books.google.co.uk/books?id=vsSiXoVuKTIC&pg=PA1427&lpg=PA1427&dq=H.R.+10541&source=bl&ots=4QlMnzmQwI&sig=YVMEMIRt1MBkU9-c8_n6MdRMOW4&hl=en&sa=X&ei=HRMoUZ-mM6mk0AWXnoHYBw&sqi=2&ved=0CDsQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=H.R.%2010541&f=false

It appears you are correct they are at it.

There are scoundrels on both sides. With regard to the Cervarix thread, some time ago I read a similar type pro vaccine scoundrel source that Gulf War Illness study as having ruled out aluminium hydroxide as a cause. It was as a direct result that I had a look in the Gulf War Illness study.

I reckon the world is a worse place without polio.

I reckon the world is a worse place without polio.

Sure, Orphadeus...

And it will get worse with every vaccine.

Its possible that vaccinations have affected the music scene.

Lets face reality - the current crop are nowhere near as good as Ian Dury.

I call a Poe rationalwiki.org/wiki/Poe%27s_Law

Its difficult to tell whether some of the imagined anti vaccine sites are pro vaccine propagandists.

There surely must be an issue as to the reason for the collapse of creativity among the younger. Take Hendrix, The Beatles, The Who and myriad others at the time. A massive talent for today is Paul Weller. Now he is top level. Paul Weller is good. However, if you put him in the 60s he's middle level.

Jesus told me that he will reward anyone who does not get vaccinated with extra creativity.

Debunked: The Polio Vaccine and HIV Link - www.historyofvaccines.org/content/articles/debunked-polio-vaccine-and-hiv-link

Hooper replies to debunking: www.lrb.co.uk/v25/n07/edward-hooper/aids-and-the-polio-vaccine

For me, Hooper looks the more convincing. He does not deal with the issue that SIV and HIV were allegedly 'genetically distant'. Logically he doesn't need to if SIV is the only candidate (which - correct me if I am wrong - I think is the case).

'Although the World Health Organization maintains that the reuse of syringes without sterilization accounts for only 2.5 percent of new H.I.V. infections in Africa, a 2003 study in The International Journal of S.T.D. and AIDS found that as many as 40 percent of H.I.V. infections in Africa are caused by contaminated needles during medical treatment.'

Should that not say during medical treatment and vaccination?

Orphadeus - you are good...

Thats nice of you.

I have the impression you may be involved in vaccination. I didn't want to upset you. I reckon you should resign. I have sympathy for you, its just that I had examined some vaccines (cervarix and flu) and didn't think I should be quiet.

Can you point out if I have made error: orphadeus.angelfire.com/galacticextinction/flu-vaccination.html

I'm actually not a mum hence feel a bit.. about posting here. On the other hand, I specifically came to warn about Cervarix.

'Orphadeus - you are good...'

And catching up with Castro..

I'm only about 90% that on Thursday before last was another. Big bloke, obvious criminal, quiet street off a busy street, and the point is I merely looked round and his world collapsed. Both because I had a rucksack and I didn't necessarily want to scare him, I decided to turn and walk in his general direction while crossing the road at a slight angle. He was very afraid.

Taking the most likely explanation, its a puzzle. At Hyde Park Corner was professional. The hit at Keats Group Practice was very professional. Different source?

There was a partially obscured photo in the Evening Standard today which rang a bell.

The clothes were similar or the same.

Sorry for bringing this thread up.

It was near Warren Street. He was wearing a cavernous brown jacket, tracksuit trousers. I assumed he was a tout from the Mingwei.

Funnily enough, with regard to Mingwei I wrote a post, probably in MySun, it might have been The Telegraph or somewhere, in which I wondered, 'Are the police working for Mickey Adams?'. Quite strange, as Jesus told me in a dream to write that, and I didn't know there was a Michael Adams. Before posting I checked in the family wikipedia page, he wasn't mentioned. I assumed I was referring to a fictional character.

It might not have been him.
