CDC admits 98 million Americans received polio vaccine contaminated with cancer virus

You also don't have a single citation in that 'article' for any of what the author claims are 'facts'. And the article just coincidentally happens to have been written by a 'naturopath doctor'.


I'm checking to see where he went to med school.

I'm skeptical as to how credible this article and "Dr." really are, especially considering this hasn't been blown out of proportion by the media or a huge gang of lawyers.
 
Vaccine switched in push to end polio...

Vaccine switched in 'milestone' towards ending polio
Sat, 16 Apr 2016 - More than 150 countries begin switching to a different polio vaccine - an important milestone towards eradicating the disease, health campaigners say.
The new vaccine will target the two remaining strains of the virus under a switchover 18 months in the planning. There were just 74 cases of the paralysing disease in 2015 and there have been 10 so far this year. All of the cases were in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Africa has been free of polio for more than a year. Switching the vaccine from one successfully used to fight polio for more than 30 years is a huge logistical exercise.

Thousands of monitors

Thousands of people will monitor the changeover in 155 countries during the next fortnight. It is taking effect mainly in developing countries, but also in richer ones such as Russia and Mexico. The new vaccine will still be given as drops in the mouth, so healthcare workers will not need fresh training. It will no longer include a weakened version of type 2 polio virus, which was eradicated in 1999.

'Rare mutations'

Dr Stephen Cochi, from the US-based Centers for Disease Control (CDC), said: "The current vaccine contains live weakened virus relating to three types of polio. "But we don't need the type 2 component, as it's not in the world any longer. "And in very rare cases it can mutate and lead to polio, through what's called circulating vaccine-derived virus. "So removing type 2 from the vaccine takes away that risk - and ensures we have a vaccine which will work better dose by dose."
