You need a better librarian to give you things to summarize.

First example, it appears you missed the most important sorta recent book on polio, “Polio, An American Story,” by historian David Oshinsky.

And consequently your summary os . . . off kilter.

There is no question polio viruses cause polio. Thee is no question that polio vaccines vanquish polio. There are no data to hint DDT or any other pesticide secretly caused polio.

You should balance out your summary by adding some real resesrchers snd scientists in, and especially Oshinsky’s history.

The Elephant In The Room:

The Vaccinated Are Inferior Beings.

They Were Inferior Before They Took The Vaccine

And Have Proven Inferior After Taking The Vaccine.

That’s What Should Upset You.

Both If You Are Vaccinated

Or Not ... Of Lesser Constitution.

Seems like Chelation might be useful here.

"Today most vaccine inserts declare paralysis as a potential side effect but “reframe it” as Guillian Barre or simply “paralysis”. This is purposely designed to obfuscate the public’s understanding of what causes paralysis, which is heavy metal poisoning plus vaccine induced autoimmunity……that ends with the body attacking and destroying its’ own nervous system pathways, in an rabid attempt to clean itself of the injected toxins. Guillian Barre and paralysis, as listed vaccine side effects, are also a way to get the public running east looking for a sunset, keeping them as far away as possible from connecting the dots around this medical polio obfuscation. Aluminum and mercury are ingredients in most (if not all) vaccines today and both are proven to cause paralysis and motor neuron destruction………..known as many different names, depending on just how much the science/medical authority figure in the room wants to lead you astray that day."

I’ve read that new cases of polio declined before the introduction of the vaccine, and that After 1959, DDT usage in the U.S. declined greatly, dropping from a peak of approximately 80 million pounds in that year to just under 12 million pounds in the early 1970s.

Just when you think the medical profession couldn't crawl any lower, you find some who can slide under a closed door.

I assume you’ve read “The Moth in the Iron Lung” but if not I recommend.

I have been follow vaccine injuries for years and knew polio was not eradicated, only renamed but had no idea Congress had been informed. Thanks for this careful research. I am sharing it widely.

Aluminum and mercury in nearly all vaccines - does that include tetanus? Is there any similar pattern to tetanus coming from somewhere other than rusty metal infected with the bug?

Expand full comment

There is no mercury in US vaccines anymore, and no indication anyone could have been harmed by the minuscule amounts in vaccines as a preservative, earlier.

Aluminum adjuvants allow a reduction in dosage for many vaccines — and again the trace dosage is dozens of tomes less than one gets from eating salads with lettuce.

I’d recommend watching the documentary “Trace Amounts”

Wow! This is so similar to today. I have a relative who recently had GBS. She didn't have a vaccine of any kind or a flu shot. She was exposed to the flu and that is how her body reacted to it. However, the GBS diagnosis was never documented on her chart. lol Covid. She contracted it after about 3 months in the hospital and they tried to give her Remdesivir. She was already on a ventilator. I told them no because I was her power of attorney person since she couldn't talk. She stopped them when they were trying to administer it to her, and she told them to call me. I don't think she would be alive today had they done it. This was a great article, and has me wondering what else could have really been the cause of the illness she had besides what they thought that it was.

Hmm... well, while you're in a questioning mode, do some research on the opposing side that holds DDT is not the devil it's made out to be but was made so by political means. If I recall correctly, Rumsfeld was involved. My in laws grew up running behind the ddt sprayers and never got polio. My mother, aunt and sister got polio but they never thought it was contagious - rather they were told it was from infected water.

Excellent research! 100% Accurate in my opinion.

Let's consider also the "Polio Incidence and DDT production" in the first article you linked:

https://www.westonaprice.org/wp-content/uploads/polio2a.gif

1) Notice the rise in polio preceeds the rise in DDT?

2) Notice the dramatic fall in polio while the yellow line (DDT products stored in fat) is still significantly elevated?

These contra-indicate the putative causation.

Lets also consider the first major polio epidemic in the United States occurring in Vermont in the summer of 1894. I haven't seen evidence that lead-arsenic and DDT were in widespread use at the time.

If we can believe reports of polio symptoms in the absence of your proposed causative agents, the causality, or at least exclusive causality is cast in doubt. It seems quite possible that polio symptoms could be caused both by viral and environmental nerve toxins.

You can find answers to some of these questions in “Dissolving illusions” and “The Moth in the Iron Lung”

Nice hypothesis but polio affected people unexposed to those chemicals.

They are reports of polio from countries in which the claimed causative agents have not been documented. You can find as many as you want, and this poses a problem for the thesis Charles Wright presents.

In addition, I find evidence that the ban of DDT was unscientific.

"DDT was discovered during World War II to be a great means of stopping infection from typhus and malaria. Its inventor, Paul Hermann Mueller, won the Nobel Prize in 1948.

It was used throughout the 1950s and '60s and was on the verge of wiping out mosquito-borne diseases from the planet. Then something very peculiar came along. A book called Silent Spring by Rachel Carson was published in 1962, and it eventually created a fantastic backlash against progress. The spring was silent supposedly because of the lack of birds, all killed off by DDT.

The only problem is that Carson's claims were never scientifically validated. Indeed, it was a hoax. Studies pumped primates full of DDT with no effect. Human volunteers ingested the stuff with no effect. Workers with 600 times the typical exposure to DDT showed no increased side effects. (Some details here.) What's more, she never once mentioned in her book that DDT had saved hundreds of thousands of lives."

I can't afford the time to make a rigorous investigation. We should work on the political task of opposing mandated therapies, particularly ones involving genetic reprogramming of our own bodies.

The hole in your Carson critique is that -- DDT can be eaten without negative effect because it is a waxy solid, but if digested by cows and integrated into the cow milk fat, it becomes extremely toxic. The resulting symptoms are identical to "poliovirus" polio.

Read the footnotes of Wright's article.

I cannot rule out DDT or lead-arsenic *also* causing symptoms common to polio.

I can rule out them being the *sole* cause -- with a high degree of confidence.

This would be true of lots of things though-talcum powder isn’t the sole cause of ovarian cancer, asbestos isn’t the sole cause of lung cancer and so on and so on. So do you want your female family members spreading talcum powder on their bodies or do you want to put asbestos paint in your house today? Arsenic and DDT today are known neurotoxins today. I don’t think that’s in question. I also don’t think the gauge is ever sole cause. I’d recommend reading “The moth in the iron lung” for some theories on why polio first impacted infants and later expanded

No. The fundamentals of science require that confounding factors (such as poisoned food) be discounted for a study (such as poliovirus causation) be valid.

You are posting opinion articles, not valid science.

A cursory search reveals studies of corresponding symptoms in mouse models. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7476091/

You've got the problem of polio absent DDT and lead pesticide spraying. The virus doesn't.

How do you know what poisons are "absent" in those studies?

[EDIT] I deleted my original response because I didn't check which comment you were responding to. That was my error.

We can be pretty confident that the mice were not exposed to 1950s levels of DDT and lead-arsenic, since they were performed after the practice was curtailed.

There is a large body of research, by independent investigators, supporting the thesis that poliovirus cases CNS problems. I just shared one here. You can spend the next months reading further ones.

There are problems with the thesis posed here -- based on the supporting documents themselves. The graph shows a high level of DDT products in human fat remaining with a concomitant drastic decline in polio cases. The DDT levels remain many times higher than pre-50s, the polio cases drop to pre-1950s levels. That is a problem for this thesis.

I'm willing to look at references you have on that.

From the Smithsonian Mag article.

“ They recruited approximately 1,500 medical and dental students to assist. “It was simply necessary and there were not enough physicians with these skills,” remembered Ibsen. As young as 18 years old, the volunteers were but able-bodied reflections of the peers they were ventilating. Perhaps nothing but chance separated patient from practitioner. Amazingly, not a single bag-squeezer would catch polio while on duty at Blegdam.”

How do you explain that none of the 1500 volunteers “caught” polio?

Expand full comment

Healthy immune system. [EDIT] Let me explain how that's plausible. You've got a population of say 10 million with endemic poliovirus, out of that you get for example 10,000 cases. Chance of getting it from exposure is therefore 1:1000. Out of that you'd only expect on average a handful of cases among the volunteers, and if you're lucky, zero.
