A report on NBC News back in 2005 seems sadly forgotten by the mainstream press.

A recent polio outbreak in Nigeria revealed another potential problem: the vaccine commonly used against it. Last week, the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control reported that since 2005, 69 Nigerian children have been paralyzed by a polio virus derived from the oral vaccine. Two other cases made it to Niger.

The vaccine did so much damage that muslims believed the vaccine to be a war device being used against them in an effort to eradicate them.

Such cases are not unknown, but the continuing Nigerian outbreak is the biggest ever, and follows a boycott of the vaccination campaign in Africa’s most populous country because of unfounded fears the vaccine was a Western plot to sterilize Muslims.

Once the CDC stepped in however, they went back to the tried and true company line.

“This is the oral polio vaccine paradox,” said Olen Kew, a virologist at the United States’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “This vaccine is the most effective tool we have against the virus, but it’s like fighting fire with fire.”

If that’s not bad enough, then a Vaccine pioneer admitting to adding cancer-causing virus to the polio Vaccine should be.
