We have a lot more serious problems to worry about than monkeypox. A return of polio is one. The first announced case of polio and the polio virus found in the wastewater of two counties set off alarm bells.
“Based on earlier polio outbreaks, New Yorkers should know that for every one case of paralytic polio observed, there may be hundreds of other people infected,” Dr. Mary T. Bassett, the state’s health commissioner, said in a statement.
“Coupled with the latest wastewater findings,” Dr. Bassett added, “the department is treating the single case of polio as just the tip of the iceberg of much greater potential spread.”
Polio is caused by the poliovirus, and children under 5 are most at risk of contracting it, but unvaccinated people are at risk. Polio is highly contagious, typically spreading from person to person when someone comes into contact with the feces of an infected person and then touches their mouth.
People vaccinated against polio are mostly protected, although not totally.
THE FIRST CASE
New York City recently announced its first case of polio since 2013. Most people are largely protected from it, but not all, almost all. It has lifelong implications for survivors. Post-polio syndrome is a horrific problem that hits prior victims to varying degrees. Some become wheelchair-bound.
So, where did this come from? This young person did not travel outside the country, but, just the same, we should consider the fact that we have massive waves of people coming unvetted and not medically screened.
New Yorkers should know that those already vaccinated are at lower risk, & the polio vaccine has long been part of @CDCgov’s childhood immunization schedule, required by NYSDOH for all school-age children. ⬇️

We are now told by the NYC health chief this might be “the tip of the iceberg” [on the Biden Titanic].
With increased urgency, state officials called for residents to vaccinate against the disease. This came after it was found in a second county’s wastewater. Orange and Rockland are the two counties.
According to the CDC’s most recent childhood vaccination data, about 93% of 2-year-olds in the U.S. had received at least three doses of the polio vaccine.
Meanwhile, adults who are not vaccinated would receive a three-dose immunization. Those vaccinated but at high risk can receive a lifetime booster shot. That is according to the health department.
Around 72% of people infected with polio have no visible symptoms, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, NBC News reports. Another 25% may develop flu-like symptoms such as sore throat, fatigue, fever, nausea, headache, or stomach pain. Those tend to resolve after a few days.
In some cases, rare cases, it can cause meningitis and irreversible paralysis.
“It’s a double-humped disease. It starts off with a minor illness, with cold-like symptoms, sore throat, things like that. Then the patient usually gets better for a day or so, and the paralysis sets in,” said Walter Orenstein, associate director of the Emory Vaccine Center.
Tim, allow me to give an example list of the 3+ DOZEN diseases Obama’s DACA kids imported, 2012-2016:
Adenovirus Conjunctivitis
Botulism
Chagas
Chicken pox
Cholera
Crytosporidiosis
Dengue fevr
Diptheria
Echinococcosis
Enterohemorragic E. coli
EV-D68 virus
Giardiasis
Haemophilis influenza
Hantavirus
Hepatitis A-E
Hemorrhagic fever
HIV/AIDS
Leprosy
Louse-born fever
Malaria
Measles
MRSA
Mumps
meningococcal disease
Meningoencephalitis
Paratyphoid disease
Rubella
Shigellosis
Strep
Syphilis
Toxoplasmosis
Trichinellosis
TB,
Tularemia
Typhus
Yellow fever
Whooping cough
We soon saw 17 Leprosy clinics pop up in 14 states -LEPROSY & THAT not the worst medieval disease imports. MILLIONS pouring in, 150 countries, will be MUCH worse
Just ONE MORE reason parents MUST get your kids OUT of public schools. Kids from these illegals WILL be enrolled, NO physicals, NO vaccinations, NO questions asked.
Parents, if you can’t afford private schools, and most Can not, HOME school. Many excellent, affordable Internet programs are available.
Create Community Co-op home school programs. Go to your retirement communities, ask for help. There are many retired teachers, retired professionals who will happily volunteer to help.
If curriculum.is your concern know this, home schooled students have been out performing public school students IN EVERY SUBJECT For Years. Without wasted time and energies on Social Justice crap and sexual perversions, home schooled students are excelling. They out-score public school students on al, standardized tests.
Polio not contagious! Just watch first 25 minutes of this!

How’s this not only allowing, but encouraging non vetted people from filthy 3rd world countries working for us? Obviously not well at all. Regarding the polio, you should add TB, rubella and a host of other diseases we had almost or completely eradicated in the US. I’m just hoping the Saulk vaccine is still around in the original makeup because it is safe. Better get ready for a smallpox outbreak too.
Why is there so much disease in NYC? Is it because NYC is the favorite destination for Illegal Aliens?
