Eye opening article! Hopefully this polio vaccine and probably others are removed from the recommended child vaccine schedule soon.

"Polio" was a result of insecticides sprayed widely in Europe as well in the Americas, and Yes, DDT was one cause but before DDT, it was Lead Arsenate (or variations of Lead Arsenate chemicals) sprayed in the orchards going back to the 1800s in the US and even centuries before that in Europe.

Back in the late 1800s and early 1900s it was called "Orchard Horse Disease" due to horses eating the apples that had the Lead Arsenate insecticide on them and then the horses had all the symptoms of "Polio." Many children and adults who ate these apples also developed "polio." And in the cities, trees were also sprayed with Lead Arsenate (and later DDT) and developed "polio."

This history of "Orchard Horse Disease" (renamed as "polio") has been buried and you have to go back to old medical journals from the late 1800s or early 1900s to see this even mentioned.

When they stopped spraying with Lead Arsenate and DDT, "polio" disappeared. it was never eradicated by any vaccine. It was stopped because the cause was stopped: no more Lead Arsenate and no more DDT spraying.

Like every other vaccine, the polio vaccine was introduced when the prevalence of the condition or deaths or serious outcomes from the disease/condition(s) was already almost nil.

And yes, they've been lying to us all these years, and we trusted them!
