Polio Causes Global Health Emergency
mdsolar (1045926) sends this news from Bloomberg: "The spread of polio to countries previously considered free of the crippling disease is a global health emergency, the World Health Organization said, as the virus once driven to the brink of extinction mounts a comeback. Pakistan, Cameroon and Syria pose the greatest risk of exporting the virus to other countries, and should ensure that residents have been vaccinated before they travel, the Geneva-based WHO said in a statement today after a meeting of its emergency committee. It's only the second time the United Nations agency has declared a public health emergency of international concern, after the 2009 influenza pandemic. Polio has resurged as military conflicts from Sudan to Pakistan disrupt vaccination campaigns, giving the virus a toehold. The number of cases reached a record low of 223 globally in 2012 and jumped to 417 last year, according to the WHO. There have been 74 cases this year, including 59 in Pakistan, during what is usually polio's 'low season,' the WHO said. "
Fuck you Jenny McCarthy and your anti-vax followers.
those bastards are persistent and need to be eradicated, the bull shit they come up with to avoid vaccinating their kids is epic. They are starting to knowledge that autism is not caused by vaccines but they have come up with other bull. The newest one seems to be that vaccines cause SIDS, they wont produce any info on this and I have googled away and the only thing I find is reference to a settlement given by a vaccine company in a case of lupus in a child (they state this is proof the vaccine caused sids (hep b vax). You will never convince them. Another anecdote from my practice, I had a mom who got a settlement for her childs seizures years ago from a vaccine company. No one had worked up the seizures at the time and a settlement got awarded, something was definitely wrong, after extensive workup half her brain was congenitally absent. Take your bullshit with a grain of salt, they only way things will get better is if we actively promote vaccines and go out of our way to debunk this crap!
It did not help that the CIA had a DNA collection, excuse me, "Intelligence gathering" operative working as a Doctor in one of the countries where the problem is the worst. Now health workers are getting assaulted and the poor who could get vaccinated, are without.
It couldn't have anything to do with this (CIA using polio vaccinations as cover) could it?

CDC made no such admission. http://www.skepticalraptor.com... Stop citing rumor websites.

Probably started this to distract us from Benghazi, didn't you??
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
Stop twisting facts.
Oh really? That article notes that from 1955 to 1963 the vaccine might have been contaminated with a virus that might cause cancer.
To say that the vaccine "causes" cancer (present tense) is blatantly false.
dude did a ted talk a couple years back full of optimism. Why can't we all just say, fuck you polio, and git her done?
if i can imagine one thing most everybody should be able to get behind it should be the eradication of disease. Lets all agree that polio is bad, and getting rid of polio is good. and if the WHO can convince warlords to help with the vaccination effort in the moments between open conflict, why isn't this problem kicked?
yeah, a nearly unprecedented level of international cooperation will do that.
Yeah, a page with a total of two links, both broken, is far more credible than a blog post with over 50 links to medical and scientific articles, journals, studies, and stories.
And what's not to trust about naturalnews.com, a site that links over and over again to articles and sources on naturalnews.com?

That's crazy conspiracy talk
the preceding comment is my own and in no way reflects the opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
I blame the media for spreading this. If it weren't for them the guise would have been left on and not uncovered making the world a safer place. I mean I'm all about freedom, but someetimes we have to give some up like freedom of press to keep me safe while I stuff my face with McDonald's new synthetic McRahib.
Seriously, what the hell? 417 cases of polio last year reported. This has to be on par with the number of motorcycle deaths due to flying mammals.
The problem is that it's infectuous. One person can infect several others, who infect more. Ever heard of exponential growth? If not, Google it.
What person will donate an airborne act of love?
However, unlike preventing flying-mammal-caused motorcycle deaths for a couple of years, preventing all polio deaths for a couple of years means we may never have to worry about it ever again.
Every time I read about that I want to flog the CIA operatives that thought that up.
I mean, couldn't they have given out the REAL vaccine while they were at it? Or better yet, followed the rules of war and NOT imitated medical personnel?
I don't read AC A human right
incidentally, the when the polio eradication campaign started in the 80's it was three hundred thousand cases yearly. 2+ decades of coordinated international effort have dropped it to "flying mammals" levels.
just the scale is... millions of people vaccinating billions one by one house by house. in the middle of war, starvation, hostility and ignorance.
makes me proud to be human
Emergency Powers! WHO! Where's the paranoia?
What cached page? Both links are broken. There is no cache linked to.

I've heard people say sugar causes cancer as well. And I still take sugar.

It is suspected that distilled water also causes cancer. More research is needed, but the scientists are still fighting over the formulation of the non-distilled 'dirty' water to use for the control group.
DHMO has a warning page all to itself. We've yet to see a case of cancer that didn't have prior DHMO use.

I can haz sterilization without surgery? Where can I get some of this vaccine, please?
Randall, it's OK to log in.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
Why don't you take an extended trip to an area with a Libertarian water supply and find out, Slick.
That's only a problem with polio if you drink where you shit. Why should anyone living on more than 5$ per day be worried about this? Are you commonly concerned about the anal-oral route for pathogens?
Quick reminder that polio outbreaks occurred periodically in the U.S. up through the 1950's, prior to the development of effective vaccines.
Even being born to a wealthy and high-status family in the U.S. was no guarantee of safety from polio infection, as was experienced by Franklin Roosevelt, at the age of 39.
Did anyone else read the title and think the post would be about some global food recall?
On my screen, with the font slashdot uses for titles (and with my eyes) I can't distinguish i and l.

Flying mammals' population growth is, presumably, exponential under nominal circumstances. Stop the oppression of the bumblebee bat, and the motorcycle will be done for! :)
So the rat bastards here are the CIA. What the CIA has done is a worse crime than any terrorist operation that has taken place anywhere in the world has ever done. It has compromised the health and safety of millions, placed the lives of medical volunteers at risk and broken trust in many organisations that actually are their too health. Those responsible for that in the US are the ones the US government should have on an Active kill list.
If you really don't think that was another -ahem- bullet point in the CIA's slide deck for this operation, I have some swamp-based bitcoins to sell you.
Google "GNRH vaccine" - it's for boars, but it also works on humans. It might have *some* side effects.
Wouldn't it be great if the usa minded their own business. Everyone would be better off.
Polio shows no symptoms in 90% of cases, even though the infected are still contagious. So 417 reported cases means at least 4170 infected individuals. Not to mention that many cases with symptoms will not have made it into those statistics, so the number is probably much higher.
Are you commonly concerned about the anal-oral route for pathogens?
Many, if not most of the vegetables you eat are picked by workers on gigantic tracts of industrial farmland with miles to even the nearest port-a-potty and an antagonistic attitude towards breaks from management.
Other great quotes from that site:
The HAARP system is being used to cause Hurricanes, earthquakes, and drought conditions. The reason is to thin out the population and create conditions (Global Warming) for martial law in the USA.
Pedophilia flourishes as it is an Elite 'habit' (to rob energy, called energy vampirism see: Energy robbing, one visible face of Satanism) and the main control tool 1 of the visible ruling Elite through potential blackmail/shame 2 (politicians, judges...) created by NSA psychics 3 or through Sodomic (satanic) mind control, and it could be a predilection of Psychopathy, certainly of the Elite psychopaths
Covert genocide, looks like the Global Warming Lie is a cover story. You can see these most days right across the sky at low altitudes, whereas contrails are at higher alt and only follow the plane for a short distance. The editor had 4 chemtrails crossing right above his house like 2 train tracks, and his house is not even in a designated flight path (1), while military jets that often fly over in low altitude training never leave any trails. In some photos you can see gaps in the trail (1), a dead giveaway, while others have absurd flight paths (1), and others have very strange planes (1) that look to be masked and appear as orbs as was seen at 911, while contrails go to nothing and chemtrails spread to act like clouds
[Mind control is the Reptilians Matrix of Evil, put into action by their on planet proxies: the Psychopath Satanic Reptilian hosts. It consists mostly of information control (see: Lying Medical mind control), Suppressing sexuality, and spreading Fear, through controlled Media, Politics, Movie industry, Music industry, Wikipedia, Television, & Education, with help from chemicals (Fluoride, Chlorine, Drugs, Aspartame, Vaccine poisons), and Death Towers, with Murder Inc keeping a final lid on the truth. This allows them to get away with Human Abuse and Mass Murder for Energy vampirism.
So, sorry if I misunderstood, but were you trying for a funny mod?
