In the June 29, 2013 issue of The Lancet, a rather interesting article appeared. The title “Ukraine at risk of polio outbreak” [1] aroused more curiosity than this writer can explain, since many of the recent outbreaks have been from polio vaccination campaigns, particularly in India where in April of 2012, this was reported, “Paralysis cases soar after oral polio vaccine introduced.”[2] Indian doctors’ findings were published in the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics.

Furthermore, the doctors provided this troubling information:

In 2011, there were an extra 47500 new cases of NPAFP [in India]. Clinically indistinguishable from polio paralysis but twice as deadly, the incidence of NPAFP was directly proportional to doses of oral polio received.[3] [CJF emphasis added]

NPAFP is non-polio acute flaccid paralysis, which is another term for a paralysis that medicine doesn’t want to have associated with polio that apparently can be contracted either from the oral polio vaccine or from third parties coming in contact with vaccinees through vaccine viral shedding. The very diseases for which a child is vaccinated either can be contracted by the vaccinee, or spread to others through what’s known as vaccine virus shedding[4],[5] from such vaccines as

the measles vaccine, rubella vaccine, chickenpox vaccine, oral polio vaccine, FluMist vaccine, and possibly a rotavirus vaccine (RotaTeq).[6]

Apparently, the U.S. CDC had to admit that:
