Polio Vaccine Causing Polio Outbreaks in Africa, WHO Admits
September 3rd, 2020Via: Children’s Health Defense:
A year ago, news outlets briefly shone a light on the fact (a fact that makes public health officials squirm) that oral polio vaccines are causing polio outbreaks. With reports streaming in throughout 2019 regarding the circulation of vaccine-derived polioviruses in numerous African and Asian countries, a CDC virologist confessed, “We have now created more new emergences of the virus than we have stopped.”
This week, the same story is making the same headlines, with the WHO’s shamefaced announcement that the oral polio vaccine is responsible for an alarming polio outbreak in Sudan—“linked to an ongoing vaccine-sparked epidemic in Chad”—with parallel outbreaks in a dozen other African countries. In fact, between August 2019 and August 2020, there were 400 recorded cases of vaccine-derived polio in more than 20 countries worldwide. Ironically, WHO disclosed this “setback” barely a week after it declared the African continent to be free of wild poliovirus—which has not been seen in Africa since 2016. While African epidemiologists cheerily claim that these outbreaks can “be brought under control with further immunization,” and Sudan prepares to launch a mass polio vaccination campaign, WHO is warning that “the risk of further spread of the vaccine-derived polio across central Africa and the Horn of Africa” is high.
Can anyone point me to a source that in even the most vague way tells me either 1) where the offical CDC official announcement cited here can be found; or 2) who this “CDC virologist” is? I’m not trying to be an anti-anti-vaxxer (!)… It’s me, anothernut, I’m on board, have been for a long time.
But when I search for an actual source of the CDC’s alleged admission, or for at least some kind of credentials that are more specific than “a virologist”, I can’t find either. And yet that snippit and that “quote” are everywhere, pretty much verbatim.
Again, to be clear, I’m not saying it’s not true, but: if I truly hold on to my integrity, I have to say that, at this point, this “report” does not live up to reasonable journalistic standards.
Hopefully someone can find an official source (since it’s claiming to be a report about an admission from an official source — that’s the point!) and post it here so I can alleviate my doubts about this atrocity.
Can’t really win either way, if you know what I mean…
The Crazy’s really getting real. I guess it always was, but the prevailing dominant ideologies now are so starkly insane, I didn’t think it would actually get this… crazy. But it has.
Be well, my cryptogon compadres.
