What is Polio?
Polio is an infectious disease caused by a virus that lives in the throat and intestinal tract. It is most often spread through person-to-person contact with the stool of an infected person and may also be spread through oral/nasal secretions. Most people infected with the polio virus have no symptoms, however for the less than 1% who develops paralysis it may result in permanent disability and even death.
Symptoms of Polio
Up to about 72% of susceptible persons infected with polio have no symptoms. However, infected persons without symptoms can still spread the virus and cause others to develop polio. About 24% of infected susceptible persons have minor symptoms such as fever, sore throat, upset stomach, or flu-like symptoms and have no paralysis or other serious symptoms. About 1-5% develop aseptic meningitis with stiffness of the back, or legs, and in some persons increased or abnormal sensations a few days after the minor illness resolves. These symptoms typically last from two to ten days, followed by complete recovery.

Look at the following real life case and witness account collected through unsolicited emails received by Think Twice Global Vaccine Institute: Four months ago my son was taken to a local clinic for his polio vaccine. I wasnt aware that he was going to have one, and would have prevented it if I had known. Unfortunately, he changed from that day high-pitched screaming, smelly stools, non-stop crying, difficulty in breathing, high temperature, and lethargy. He also lost weight. Weeks of sleepless nights for all of us followed. His development ceased. He had been able to stand and move around, but he went back to remaining in basically whatever position we left him in My wife was six months pregnant at the time, and about a week after our sons polio vaccine, she began to have headaches, loss of balance, muscular weakness, and frequent tiredness. I panicked because everything seemed to be pointing to polio infection. Then, a week after her continuous headaches began, she had to go to the hospital because there was something wrong with the pregnancy; she lost our daughter.11

Another sinister game was played by the authorities in order to declare the killer vaccine a success. They changed the definition of Polio in order to make it appear as though the cases of Polio had reduced. The new definition of a polio epidemic required more cases to be reported. Paralytic polio was redefined as well, making it more difficult to confirm, and therefore tally, cases. Prior to the introduction of the vaccine the patient only had to exhibit paralytic symptoms for 24 hours. Laboratory confirmation and tests to determine residual paralysis were not required. The new definition required the patient to exhibit paralytic symptoms for at least 60 days, and residual paralysis had to be confirmed twice during the course of the disease. Also, after the vaccine was introduced cases of aseptic meningitis (an infectious disease often difficult to distinguish from polio) and coxsackie virus infections were more often reported as separate diseases from polio. But such cases were counted as polio before the vaccine was introduced. The vaccines reported effectiveness was therefore skewed. 14 By redefining Polio, the authorities made it appear as though Polio vaccine had indeed cured Polio. The fact that dubious tactics were used to fabricate efficacy rates was corroborated by Dr. Bernard Greenberg, chairman of the Committee on Evaluation and Standards of the American Public Health Association during the 1950s. His expert testimony was used as evidence during Congressional hearings in 1962. He credited the decline of polio cases not to the vaccine, but rather to a change in the way doctors were required to report cases. 14

What is more disturbing is the fact that experts estimate that between 1954 and 1963, 30 million to 100 million Americans and perhaps another 100 million or more people throughout the world were exposed to SV-40 cancer-causing virus through ill-conceived polio eradication campaigns.18 The story does not end in America. Even though now banned in America, research shows that the same tainted polio vaccine continues to threaten the lives of millions of people around the world. 19 More recently, in 1996, Michele Carbone, a molecular pathologist at Chicagos Loyola University Medical Center, was able to detect SV-40 in 38 percent of patients with bone cancer and in 58 percent of those with mesothelioma, a deadly type of lung cancer.20&21 Human body contains a protein that normally protects tumors from becoming malignant [active]. Research conducted at Loyola University Medical Center also showed that SV-40 blocks this proteins action and as a result it disables human bodys natural defenses against cancer.21 Studies published in eminent journals throughout the world appear to confirm that SV-40 is a catalyst for many types of cancer. It has also been proven to be linked to leukemia and brain tumors in humans. Some of these research papers are listed below: Innis MD. Oncogenesis and poliomyelitis vaccine. Nature , 1968; 219: 9723.

Even with such a strong body of evidence, medical authorities around the world, under pressure from the World Health Organization [WHO], turned a blind eye to the dangers posed by Polio vaccine. In 1998, a national cancer database was analyzed: 17 percent more bone cancers, 20 percent more brain cancers, and 178 percent more mesotheliomas were found in people who were exposed to SV-40tainted polio vaccines.22 Despite official denials of any correlation between polio vaccines, SV-40, and increased cancer rates, by April 2001, 62 papers from 30 laboratories around the world had reported SV40 in human tissues and tumors. The virus was also discovered in pituitary and thyroid tumors, and in patients with kidney disease. Even the National Cancer Institute issued a statement that SV-40 may be associated with human cancer22 Perhaps the most alarming aspect of this ongoing simian virus debacle can be found in other studies suggesting that SV-40, introduced to humans through the polio vaccine, can be passed from human to human and from mother to child. A study of nearly 59,000 women found that children of mothers who received the polio vaccine between 1959 and 1965 had brain tumors at a rate 13 times greater than mothers who did not receive those polio shots.23 Research also shows that mothers who received the vaccination can transmit the SV-40 virus to their children even if the child remains unvaccinated. 24

In fact Gerald Myers, a genetic sequencing expert with Los Alamos National Laboratories in New Mexico, tracked the evolution of HIV and confirmed that todays major subtypes of the AIDS virus in humans appear to have arisen as recently as 1960 around the time when the first polio vaccine was tested.42 Disease experts believe that the average time between HIV infection and the development of AIDS is 810 years.43 If the African polio vaccine was indeed contaminated with SIV/HIV, initial outbreaks of AIDS would have occurred from the mid-1960s to early 1970s. This period accurately coincides with the emergence of AIDS in equatorial Africa. 44 Authorities are reluctant to acknowledge the possibility that polio vaccines may have been responsible for the introduction of the AIDS pandemic. Here are the excuses: Dr. David Heymann, who heads the World Health Organizations Global Program on AIDS, flatly stated that the origin of the AIDS virus is of no importance to science today 45 William Haseltine, a Harvard pathology professor and AIDS researcher also believes that any discussion about the origin of AIDS is distracting and nonproductive. Its not relevant, and Im not interested in discussing it45 Jonas Salk the Jewish inventor of the Polio vaccine wont discuss the subject either. He is now working on an AIDS vaccine.45
In fact when AIDS researchers formally requested a sample of the original polio vaccine seed stocks, the government denied the request by stating that there are only a small number of vials of the material, and tests might use it all up. 45 A Case against Polio Vaccine: On February 12, 1994, Bruce Williams filed a civil suit against the American Cyanamid Company, claiming its polio vaccine caused his daughters illness. The lawsuit also asserts that the product was FDA approved despite the known presence of contaminants, including retroviruses such as HIV.46 Walter Kyle, the Williams lawyer, identified the specific lots of vaccine the child received, but the Center for Decease Control and Prevention [CDC] and federal health officials have refused to test them. . Kyle believes The CDC could disprove my entire hypothesis by testing the vaccines they have in their possession. The fact that they havent done so is evidence theres something wrong with the vaccine.47

Other Viruses Found in Polio Vaccine In 1996, Dr. Howard B. Urnovitz, a microbiologist, founder and chief science officer of Calypte Biomedical in Berkeley, California spoke at a national AIDS conference where he explained that up to 26 monkey viruses may have been in the original polio vaccines. These included the simian equivalents of human echo virus, coxsackie, herpes (HHV-6, HHV-7, and HHV-8), adenoviruses, Epstein-Barr, and cytomegalovirus. 56&57 Dr. Urnovitz said that contaminated polio vaccines given to U.S. children between 1955 and 1961 may have set this generation up for immune system damage and neurological disorders. He sees correlations between early polio vaccine campaigns and the sudden emergence of human T-cell leukemia, epidemic Kaposis sarcoma, Burkitts lymphoma, herpes, Epstein-Barr and chronic fatigue syndrome. 56 Polio Vaccine can help make new strands of Poliovirus Several years ago, the World Health Organization launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, with 2000 as its target date for eliminating the disease. However, by 2000 it became clear that not only was polio still around, but new strains of the diseasederived from the vaccine itselfwere emerging.58 In 1993, Dr. Radu Crainic of the Pasteur Institute, discovered that strains of the polio virus have the ability to spontaneously recombine with themselves and create new strains. Crainic showed that if you vaccinate a child with polio strains 1, 2, and 3, you can produce a new strain, strain 4, out of the childs stool. 59 In October 2000, virologist Hiromu Yoshida of Japans National Institute of Infectious Diseases in Tokyo reported finding a new infectious polio virus in Japanese rivers and sewage. Genetic sequencing confirmed that the virus had mutated from the polio vaccine and regained much of its original virulence.60

any possibility of eradicating poliovirus in the future. Poliovirus cannot be declared extinct because the sequence of its genome is known and modern biotechnology allows it to be resurrected at any time in vitro.62 Eckard Wimmer has noted the WHO's current policy calls for cessation of OPV vaccination three years after the last case of poliovirus-caused poliomyelitis. Injectable polio vaccine (IPV) will replace OPV in countries which can afford it.62 In other words the WHO can continue to push countries from one form of the vaccine to another form back and forth. Just like they had banned IPV for OPV, they will shift it back and continue to make money and weaken the natural immunity of target populations. The debilitating and sometimes deadly side effects of the oral polio vaccine led the U.S. to stop using it in 2000, the New York Times reported63. However, many governments around the world still administer the dangerous vaccine to their citizens under direction from WHO. Despite the grave concerns that have been raised, the vaccine manufacturers and the health agencies they have partnered with around the world are shifting the oral polio vaccination effort into high gear and there are no signs of stopping. The governments in collaboration with WHO have started punishing the parents who refuse to administer Polio vaccines to their children. Unsurprisingly, public trust for the shots is at its lowest ebb, according to Hussain A. Gezari, the WHOs envoy on global polio eradication. Previous attempts by government to financially punish parents who do not subject their children to the government have been made in Australia, where the nation suggested stripping parents of nonvaccination children from tax benefits 64 According to WHO reports, in 2009-2010, 23 previously polio-free countries were re-infected due to imports of the virus. 65 Now the Pakistan government wants to give the same vaccine to their children under pressure from the same criminals. WHO and partner organizations on this point have much to lose if the polio vaccine is truly found to be dangerous. Awareness of this potential threat might undermine their huge project worth. But the big question is: Why has the media not given this issue its due coverage. It is easy to shut the opposition by declaring them to be illiterate or religious fanatics, but what about the large body of credible scientific evidence that has systematically been covered up?

Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder of the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC), spoke with Voice of America (VOA) about the intensive polio vaccine campaigns in the developing world. Unfortunately, much of Barbara's interview and insights were edited out of the video, as she explains below: "I taped an interview with Voice of America on the subject of intensive polio vaccine campaigns in the developing world. I gave the reporter this Indian journal article and raised the issue of the reported increases in Acute Flaccid Paralysis among Indian children given monthly doses of OPV [oral polio vaccine]. l told him that developed countries like the US had replaced live virus polio vaccine (OPV) with inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) more than a decade ago to prevent cases of vaccine-strain polio because OPV, being a live virus vaccine, causes recently vaccinated children to shed vaccine-strain polio virus in their body fluids for a period of time following vaccination. In underdeveloped countries with poverty and poor sanitation (like open sewage), vaccine-strain viruses can contaminate water and facilitate transmission of vaccine-strain paralytic polio. I did question whether repeated mass vaccination campaigns in underdeveloped countries were more a function of pharmaceutical companies seeking to sell product rather than making investments in infrastructure that address the basic causes of poor health. And I also questioned the lack of safety science to demonstrate that it is safe to give children MONTHLY polio vaccinations when children in the developed world only receive 5 doses. We do oppose use of government enforcement mechanisms to aggressively implement mass vaccination campaigns that fail to obtain the voluntary, informed consent of the parents of children being vaccinated. We do this because NVIC defends the ethical principal of informed consent to medical risk taking, which is a human right, and we defend that right without compromise. It is too bad that the VOA report did not address poverty, malnutrition and the root causes of disease versus simply giving these children OPV vaccine over and over again, when the vaccine can cause vaccine-strain polio, there are no safety studies showing that it is safe to give children monthly doses of OPV and the report out of India indicates that increases in Acute Flaccid Paralysis may be associated with repeated OPV vaccination in children." Another Strange Report:
On March 2011, Health-care workers in Somalia began a, United Nations-backed campaign to vaccinate more than 1.8 million young children against polio, four years after the Horn of Africa country was declared to be polio-free.66 Why would United Nations start a vaccination program in an area that has been free from polio for four years?

According to the Associated Press, Dr. Jonas Salk co-authored a clinical trial that "injected experimental flu vaccine in male patients at a state insane asylum in Ypsilanti, Mich., and then exposed them to flu several months later." AP also reports: "The late 1940s and 1950s saw huge growth in the U.S. pharmaceutical and health care industries, accompanied by a boom in prisoner experiments funded by both the government and corporations. By the 1960s, at least half the states allowed prisoners to be used as medical guinea pigs. Researchers injected cancer cells into 19 old and debilitated 2 - http://www.aolnews.com/2011/02/27/horrific-us-medical-experiments-come-to-light/ patients at a Chronic Disease Hospital in the New York borough of Brooklyn to see if their bodies would reject them." "In widely covered congressional hearings in 1973, pharmaceutical industry officials acknowledged they were using prisoners for testing because they were cheaper than chimpanzees." Of course, as many of these gross criminal activities came to light, the U.S. government was finally forced to put a stop to it due to public outrage. So the drug companies simply moved their criminal operations offshore where they now engage in routine medical experimentation on children in developing nations such as Pakistan, usually by paying off top government officials in those countries to look the other way while their scientists and researchers unleash "pharma crimes" upon the people there.

Harassing: Not just in Pakistan, but all around the world parents report being harassed by medical and policing personnel wishing to vaccinate their children. Scare Tactics: The media is used to scare people by showing them false cases of unvaccinated children. Giant billboards and posters are hung around the country displaying photographs of affected children to play with public sentiments and emotion. Lying: Sometimes the authorities simply lie about the statistics to trick people. Declarations such as Polio is making a comeback and Rubella is spreading are displayed everywhere while in reality none of these deceases are present in any significant amount. Patriotic Duty: Advertisements focus on putting parents through a guilt-trip by accusing those who deny the vaccination of being un-patriotic and lacking social responsibility. Making it Mandatory: Think about this if vaccines are good, why does the government need to mandate them? The simple reason is that mandates are the only way the companies producing the vaccine can get you to bring in your perfectly healthy children to get medicine for a decease they may never contract without vaccination. Suppressing Information: Every approved medicine comes with a list of side-effects attached to it. Vaccines are an exception. One should wonder why the parents are not informed about data showing the side-effects and dangers of Vaccinations and why are the real ingredients kept hidden?

And all of this was just the tip of the iceberg. There is countless more research published in recognized scientific journals proving without a shadow of a doubt that vaccination causes considerably more harm than good. The devastating effects of this cocktail of viruses and illnesses are plain for all to see. Not just polio and MMR, the Hepatitis B vaccine has been scientifically linked to Hearing Loss81 and Vision Loss82 while the Rubella Vaccine has been linked to Arthritis83 and Juvenile-Onset Diabetes84.

It disrupts and destroys the natural immune systems of our innocent children It produces many physical and medical problems It increases antibiotic resistance among many patients It can make many people sterile or infertile It contains many harmful chemicals like mercury and aluminium It lacks independent scientific evidence of efficacy and safety On the contrary, scientific evidence has linked several vaccines to the outbreaks of the deceases they were supposed to prevent Scientific research also links several vaccines to a multitude of other illnesses such as cancer, aids, autism and diabetes It wastes billions of dollars and is pushing the governments of poor countries further into debt and economic destruction It is medically unethical, as it takes us away from dealing with the causes of the diseases and working on real prevention There is neither transparency nor informed consent. Most parents, the public, and even doctors are not aware of its harms, ingredients and cost A rising number of doctors, health professionals and parents are joining the campaign against vaccination (see list of organizations below) We have many natural ways to build a natural strong immune system to fight most infections We have safer alternatives to vaccines for the prevention and cure of illnesses

Ever since this game of experimenting on humans began, the world has seen a sharp increase in all of these illnesses we have covered. Millions of people around the world continue to suffer simply because of media misinformation, large budget government programs and dirty tactics by the pharmacology companies that manufacture vaccines.
A recent study conducted by the Centre for Decease Control and Prevention [CDC] found that children who were vaccinated tend to come from homes run by poor, unmarried, poorly informed mothers who trust their doctors, whereas children who were never vaccinated tend to come from homes where they are well-provided for, with married parents who possess knowledge and do not permit doctors to influence their vaccination decisions.88 We have presented here just enough information to help concerned parents make an informed choice regarding Vaccinating their children. Will you hold the hand of your unsuspecting healthy child and take him to get vaccinated and become a rat in a cruel experiment, or will you take a stand and defend your family against the sinister plans of vaccine manufacturers. The choice, in the end, is yours.
