"The History of Polio" by Elliott Freed

 


Something to consider when thinking about polio is the history of it.

It was very rare until 1943. There were a few dozen cases a year around the world in the early 1900s, rising to about 1,000 a year in the u.s. in 1942. In 1943 that number tripled and continued climbing sharply until 1952.

From its first appearance in the late 1800s there was quite the scientific journey to understand what it was and what to do about it. A lot of doctors and scientists quickly recognized it as poisoning. A few were able to successfully treat it as such, recovering their patients with vitamins, et cetera.

At the same time there was a growing cadre of scientists in the employ of the large chemical industries. Obviously many of them were working on more industrial applications but there were also some working on medicine and health research.

When people started showing up with paralysis after exposure to these industrial chemicals the industrial scientists had to deflect blame so they tried to look for an infectious agent. When they couldn't find any bacteria responsible for it they made up a bogeyman, the virus.

What was a virus? Nobody knew. It was not until the 1940s that they had electron microscopes through which they could see things that small, and they settled on the first thing they found as if it was obviously what they’d been looking for. It was not until the turn of the latest century that they had the imaging technology to see what those things were actually doing. But in the first decade of the 20th century, viruses were presented as the infectious agent causing the poisoning like paralysis that couldn't be explained by bacterial infection. It was sleight of hand and nobody within the academy since even reads those old papers. They just assume. Certainly no one attempts to repeat those experiments. They’d be laughed out of their jobs for acting like Dr. Frankenstein.

Throughout the early 20th century scientists in the employ of the chemical corporations continued to look for this mysterious infectious agent. When you read their research you realize just what mad scientists they were, and how absolutely pointless their experiments and useless their data. You can journey with these madmen through their mad science by going to pub med, searching for polio, and selecting the option to see the oldest publications first.

They got a big boost when FDR took ill. He'd been up for a few days straight, and then went swimming in frigid waters down stream from an area that had been heavily industrial for centuries. He awoke the next morning with weakness and paralysis and was given the diagnosis of polio. But really he'd been poisoned while in an already weakened state.

He was friends with all the industrialists and what not, and the viral theory was the popular one, the one backed by all the money, so he went with it and, with a friend of his, started the March of Dimes to turn a rare illness into a huge public scare and raise money to look for a cure.

Which leads us to the question, what happened in 1943 that caused the spike in cases of paralysis?

The government agency that was the precursor to the CDC began spraying DDT in an attempt to eradicate mosquitoes and malaria.

As the number of cases of polio skyrocketed the search for the cause and the cure heated up, and so did the debate within the scientific medical community. On the one hand were the doctors who were curing polio with vitamin C and recognizing it as the result of poisoning. On the other hand were the ones who were bringing in big research money in an attempt to validate the viral hypothesis and exonerate the chemical corporations.

While the viral hypothesis, with all its money and the backing of FDR, and later Eisenhower, dominated the media and the public dialogue, by 1952 it was obvious to anybody who really understood the issue that it was DDT poisoning. People were washing their fruit with it. They were putting up DDT infused wall paper in the bedrooms of their newborn infants. They were spraying it by the truckload on kids in swimming pools and school classrooms, etc. So they began pulling back on the use of DDT, without ever acknowledging publicly that it had been the cause.

By 1955 the death rate from paralysis, aka "polio" had dropped by half. That was when they introduced the vaccine. With the introduction of the vaccine paralysis rates once again jumped, almost exclusively in the vaccinated. The photo of the room full of iron lungs is a photo from a filming session, not an actual polio ward, but the idea is based on something that really happened. There were thousands of children who had been paralyzed by the vaccine. They called the event the Cutter incident in an effort to blame the new paralysis pandemic on vaccines improperly manufactured by Cutter Labs, instead of vaccination generally.

In an attempt to rush the product to market a famous public health doctor who had been at the forefront of the push to develop the shot, Alton Oschner, injected it into his two grandchildren on stage in front of the press. One died the next day and the other became horribly paralyzed and died a few years later. Yet the good doctor still pushed the vaccine. He was heavily invested in it. He had staked his entire, very prominent and influential career on it.

Upon realizing their mistake the CDC tweaked the diagnostic criteria for polio and it pretty much disappeared by 1960. They chose to cover their own asses, promote the product they knew was deadly and continue to kill and maim children instead of coming clean.

You see, before the vaccine was introduced and the Cutter incident made it clear how bad the vaccine was, anybody presenting with acute flaccid paralysis for twenty four hours was given a diagnosis of polio. Most people started recovering within a week or two.

Once they realized what they had done, in 1956 the CDC changed the diagnosis. In order to get a diagnosis of polio the person had to be paralyzed for two months and the CDC themselves had to find the polio virus in the stool of the patient.

What was the polio virus? Nobody really knew for sure, due to the limitations of technology I described above. Salk just used three dna strands he found in the stool of healthy boys as the stock for his vaccine. You can read more about that in the book, "Fear of the Invisible."

If the CDC did not find the virus the person would be given another diagnosis. Some of the common ones are acute flaccid paralysis, aseptic meningitis, transverse myelitis, Guillain Barre Syndrome and others. Lump all the new diagnoses for what was once called polio together and you find the numbers are as high as ever.

Also, they have since been looking for the polio virus. What they have found is, 99.9% or more of people in whom they find those dna strands have no symptoms of illness. This information used to be on the CDC website. A few years ago, they reduced that number published on their website, but numerous phone discussions with CDC employees trying to find the evidence for this change proved fruitless. At the same time, in most people who have the symptoms once known as polio, they do not find those dna strands. If only one in one thousand people with the offending “virus” are ill, and most of the people who are ill do not have the “virus,” it was never the "virus" causing the disease.

-

The argument that vaccines eradicated polio and saved millions of lives is false and built on lies told to avoid responsibility for the deaths caused by government bureaucrats and industry scientists, to promote and profit from a product they knew was not only ineffective but also deadly, and to train obedience to mandates to receive injections into the entire population.

This was a post from years ago. Back in 2015, I shared all the relevant links and information bit by bit to my face book page as I uncovered it. This was a summary of all that. If you'd like all the links and other info, you can find it in the book I published organizing and summarizing this info. Sadly, the printing company I use is having supply chain and staffing issues, making it difficult to get printed copies, so I've made the PDF version available for purchase. You can go to the website below to purchase it.
