BIG topic. I'm 77. I had all the childhood diseases including polio when I was 2. My mom begged our family physician to let me stay home and she would nurse me. I got over it. No residual complications. Then my kids had the requisite 8 shots and they all had the measles, mumps and chicken pox anyway. I nursed them and did not come down with the ailments. I guess I had natural immunities? So, here's my question in regards to the eradication of polio. If the shots did not protect my kids from the childhood diseases, how did the polio vaccine eradicate polio? I am such a cynic now. I want to share this document that I acquired a few years ago. It raises so many questions about the polio vax. I am open to any and all dispute because I have questions.

Health Freedom Institute wrote an excellent article about the history of the polio vaccine (they have so many more!): https://healthfreedominstitute.com/polio/

Bottom line for me in my early 70s (after regrettably having received every recommended shot up to but not including COVID-19): Do not vaccinate any age group and especially those with compromised immune systems. Everything I’ve read so far indicates that risks of vaccination simply outweigh the benefits.

My youngest daughter and her husband chose to not vax their two boys. Both are grown now and aside from occasional colds, flu and one had mild case of covid. they have been quite healthy. Once when the oldest was two and seemed to have strep we took him to doc to verify to get a script of antibiotic. When the doc looked at the record he was visibly shocked to see the boy was not vaxxed. He looked straight at me and said, somewhat arrogantly, "I normally do not allow patients who have not been vaccinated to come into my office or sit in my waiting room." I looked right back at him and asked, "If vaccinations work, why would you worry?" That caught him momentarily then he replied, "You obviously have not been in places as I have and seen the devastation of a measles epidemic." I let him have the last word, we just wanted a prescription and to get out of there.

I know several friends, and one relative, who vaxxed their infants and within a day they went from normal to autistic. Again I am such a cynic now, I struggle to believe anything med science puts out.

Dr. Paul Thomas on CHD’s Pediatric Perspectives is a wealth of compassionate information for parents and doctors who might be on the fence about vaccines.

Once a 100% allopathic pediatrician, Dr. Thomas slowly realized that vaccines and even antibiotics can be harmful (antibiotics can destroy the gut microbiome). Dr. Thomas lost his Oregon medical license for his troubles, but remains as a coach and educator for anyone who need help understanding the vaccination pressures and alternatives they will face.

Everyone — parent or not — will enjoy Dr. Thomas’ interviews and commonsense advice. Start here: https://live.childrenshealthdefense.org/chd-tv/shows/pediatric-perspectives-with-paul-thomas/

Dr. Liz Mumper is another excellent pediatrician who is wide awake. Find her work on Children’s Health Defense (search for Mumper: https://childrenshealthdefense.org/search/). Also on FLCCC with this search: https://covid19criticalcare.com/?s=mumper&id=6377

Re the polio vax...was of course vaccinated in the Air Force. Was mouth pipetting a particularly virulent strain of polio virus culture when the cotton plug failed and got a mouthfull of the stuff. Think maybe that vac did me some good but of course that was an unusual circumstance not applicable to the general population.
