How many Deaths? How is it transmitted? What do these kids in different states have in common? What has CDC investigated? It's all silent & conveniently kept QUIET! SO ITS FORGOTTEN. THE PRESS SHOULD BE ? THIS DAILY! WE TRUSTED THEM. NO MORE

Vaccinate don’t pontificate!

It’s almost like when you don’t vaccinate your children they suffer, but who believes centuries worth of scientific research that keeps us alive.

Is it temperature/ environment linked? Polio was transmitted in summer swims, wasn't it? Could it be a Prion, like MadCow/ Spongiform Encephalitis? Very curious...

I think saying “polio like” doesn’t help in anyway minus for the panic.

The CDC now reports 134 confirmed cases of puzzling polio-like paralysisThe number of new cases of the polio-like paralyzing condition called acute flaccid myelitis appears to be peaking, federal health officials say. This may seem extreme but perhaps the people found with the disease should be kept in custody for a brief period to try and better understand the new condition. If it turns out to be contagious we will be very glad we did. It's polio and it's brought in by illegal immigrants! Because we have parents not vaccinating their children hope they realize that science is better than a conspiracy theories

CDC confirms 116 cases of rare polio-like illness, acute flaccid myelitisSymptoms of acute flaccid myelitis - a polio-like illness mostly affecting children - include drooping face and eyelids, difficulty moving eyes and swallowing, and slurred speech. Look at vaccines themselves. How many of the affected children have been vaccinated? I would venture to say that at least 95% were. I wish the CDC would stop renaming this “polio like illness” my daughter was diagnosed 22 yrs ago with a “polio like illness”she is still in a wheelchair & dependent on others to help her daily. I was advised it was from the Polio vaccine she received at 9mths Like bells pallsey

That's an increase of 24 since last week and the highest number of confirmed cases in a single year since tracking in August 2014. NO😤😠 This is what happens when nut jobs don't give their children vaccinations. They risk their child's health and other children's health as well. Merry BLUE Christmas Everyone !!!!

What is vaccine-derived polio?In 2017 polio cases caused by vaccine-derived viruses overtook, for the first time, those caused by the wild version Does anyone on your staff actually know what Jonas Salk said about his vaccines in 1961.... doubt it.. or you wouldn't make yourselves look stupid posting this Definitely every virus mutates, every time we are affected by colds it is obviously a different virus. Same is the case with AIDS virus, it mutates constantly, therefore finding a vaccine against HIV is a futile exercise, and wastage of public money. Therefore restrict it! in pakistan the same is happening.. government authorities are so inefficient in making research.. when people ask for good sanitation as measure for eradicating polio virus govt just ask people to have more and more oral vaccine even forcing people to be vaccinated and thus badd
