“The fact is that Polio was on the decline before Salk came along...”
It certainly was not. Where on earth did you get that info?
.
If you have an open mind, the data is rather easy to find. Help.yourself. As new pesticides were introduced in the 40s & 50s, Polio incidence was already dropping by the time the Salk vaccine began being instituted widely.
But that’s the easy part to wrap your head around...
It was. He’s right. Many of the worst childhood diseases were on the decline.
I was just reading about life in the poor parts of NYC in 1917 when polio was hitting. Every family seemed to be affected. Except those that got out of the town in the summer heat and stayed at the ocean. They noticed that those families didn’t lose a child to the virus.
Now if that isn’t proof that adequate vitamin d prevents the sequela of flaccid paralysis after the enterovirus, nothing is. We now know about vitamin d and should use thst knowledge, and our children won’t be affected by that ghastly symptom. Too bad our doctors don’t push therapeutic doses of vitamin d the way they do vaccines with neurological side effects. I wonder why? Aren’t FReepers trained by now to follow QUI BONO?
Perception is not the same as statistics
