Polio Vaccine and Rotary Clubs

[Healthy Skeptic]

So my DH joined rotary so now our money is going towards vaccine distribution in the form of polio. :

Anyway, they say that they, Rotary, has single handidly almost wiped out polio in the world.

The man who was just president of a nearby rotary knows how I feel and that all 4 of my kids are not vaccinated. And ignorantly shoved this so called fact in my face when we all went camping in May. : I let it go but steamed big time.

Well now he has transferred to my DH's rotary.

I have spoke on the subject and been researching it for 12 years now.

See they don't know the truth. Which makes me so mad as he stood on his soap box and made me look like the ignorant one. :

So I wrote this for some to give me knowledge. Have you heard about this Rotary issue and polio. What is your take? What do you think about it?

Thanks in advance.

I would like to see the conclusive proof that HIV is related to the Polio vax.

[Healthy Skeptic]

Can we just stick to the topic I posted please. I did not come here for a fight. Thank you.

I'm sorry, Healthy Skeptic, but you can't post an outrageous claim like that and expect it to go unchallenged. This is a public forum and when you put yourself out there, you might get responses you don't like. We vaccine-free proponents almost have to hold ourselves to a higher standard than those who promote vaccination, because everything we say is heavily scrutinized, attacked, and distorted whenever possible. Unfair, but that's the reality.

Do you have any links or evidence to show that the polio vaccine has contributed to cancer and HIV infection? I'm not attacking you, by the way--I'm a non-vaxer myself. I'd love to know more about this!

I don't know about HIV and the polio vax being connected, but I have read plenty on cancer and the polio vax being connected. I believe Evidence of Harm was the first in depth look at it that I read.

I do see quite a bit of Rotary clubs promoting their influence in the polio vax distribution and it does irk me, but I am not about to get into a fight, verbally or otherwise , with a group that puts so much effort into it. They sure as heck aren't going to listen to anything I say.

[Healthy Skeptic]

yep, I am not looking to fight with them either. I probably will never say a word to them.

But i will say something to the people who listen to them. there were many people around that fire that night and I know it will come up eventually.

[tayndrewsmama]

At the very least it would be nice for them to recognize that it doesn't come without possible side effects. They seem to be getting, at least in our area, a little over the top and acting like they are single handedly saving the entire world from all that ails it. Hopefully they aren't all like that and it's just individuals amongst the group that choose to do that. Heck, maybe we are neighbors and being exposed to the same groups.

You just by being you have knocked them off kilter. Their reality HAS to be right. They have to be right. There can be no detraction. No disagreement.


Resistance is futile.

lol maybe, u in MI?

They do really pat themselves on the back and start talking all big and stuff.

Let me at them.

While attending a vaccine lecture by a leading researcher, I learned that the live polio vax has been the root of current polio cases in the US, as the serovar or strain in wild is a different one. Only four years ago did the US switch to the Inactivated vax. I even have a print out somewhere in my files of a round table discussion, I think it was from DVM magazine (doctor of veterinary medicine) and Jonas Salk was one of the participants. He said that the current cases are due to the vaccine converted to virolence.


ETA, found the article: http://www.danebytes.com/vaccine_article.htm

Rude: Does shedding of modified live virus vaccine viruses from vaccinated animals have the potential to cause disease in non-vaccinated contact animals of the same species and/or different species?

Salk: Well, it's self-evident that this is what happens with polio. I have not seen evidence that it is of significant advantage. There's a disadvantage in the U.S. because of vaccine associated disease. In the developing countries live virus vaccines often fail because they don't always protect those who are directly vaccinated due to inhibitors in the intestinal tract. In the U.S., vaccine virus is the principal cause of continuing polio.

There was a case won by a father of a baby, he had contracted polio thirty years ago by changing the diaper of his recently vaccinated baby.
Live virus vaccines shed and he contracted it via exposure to bodily fluids containing the virus.

Oops forgot to reply about something, referring to cancer and polio vax. I am not sure- but the topic starter may have been referring to the SV40 virus. This was a virus that was part of the substrate, the material was monkey kidney and the original live virus polio vax was cultered on it. Unfortunately, this was also in the live vax. I think the scientific community hasn't really come to an agreement pertaining to it relating to cancer, but I may be wrong. There is mention of the SV40 virus in that round table discussion, Jonas Salk mentions it pertaining to the live polio vax.

Personally I think anything that deregulates the immune system so that it no longer kills cancer cells, allows cancer to grow. From abnormal hormonal levels to environmental chemical exposure, anything that deregulates the normal natural immune response to seek and destroy abnormal cells allows those cells to grow. I think that is why we cannot point the finger at one known cause, as I believe the root of the problem is an immune system that is not working properly. So whatever deregulates our immune system, and there are probably so many possibilities, could likely 'cause' cancer, yet in an indirect way. Our immune systems destroy abnormal cells on a regular basis, when it fails to do so those cells grow in number.

Again, I don't know if this is what the topic starter was referring to, just a thought though.

Just a Little Prick has some EXCELLENT information on the polio vax campaigns in Africa.

What or who is just a little prick?

It's a book written by Peter & Hilary Butler.

*sigh* the old polio and HIV conspiracy theory


some links to beat back the myth- I have more if anyone else wants to read them:

Applying these methods to both the gag and env trees, we estimated the time of origin of the HIV-1 Main (M) group to be near 1930, with 95% CIs essentially spanning the period from 1910 to 1950.

http://www.uow.edu.au/arts/sts/bmart.../Worobey04.pdf

This ‘OPV/AIDS theory’ claims that chimpanzees
from the vicinity of Stanleyville —
now Kisangani in the Democratic Republic
of Congo — were the source of a simian
immunodeficiency virus (SIVcpz) that was
transmitted to humans when chimpanzee
tissues were allegedly used in the preparation
of OPV6,7. Here we show that SIVcpz
is indeed endemic in wild chimpanzees of
this region but that the circulating virus is
phylogenetically distinct from all strains of
HIV-1, providing direct evidence that these
chimpanzees were not the source of the
human AIDS pandemic.

(much more in that one)

This is not true. The switch was made somewhere between 1993 and 1998. Since the older dd had the live and the younger had the inactivated. So more than 10 years ago.

And what the hell is a Rotary Club? Is it like the Lions Club or something? I have "heard" of it of course.. but never hear about it. Does that make sense? Hehe.
