my dad's older brother died of Bulbar Polio when he was only 6, & my dad was only 4 at the time, it was in 1951, a year before the vaccine was invented. I only wish to this day that tragedy never happend, I wish I had an Uncle on my father's side.

Em 1955 Dr Salks produziu uma vacina com pedaços de rins de macacos "Rhesus" hospedeiro de um vírus variante do HIV.Dr. Salks cruelmente testou a vacina em 2.000.000 crianças como cobaias no Congo (África) justamente onde os primeiros casos de Aids surgiram..Quem tinha 9 anos em 55 em 65 tiveram as suas primeiras relação sexuais com mais 10 anos assintomaticos.E é justamente no começo dos anos 80 que o HIV foi isolado.Esta na hora dos EUA esclarecer o que me parece uma grande tragédia humana.

O'Driscoll's book- What Vets Don't Tell U About Vaccines 2nd Ed. p. 104 has 5 drs saying shots cause Multiple Sclerosis! No shot ever in 200 years proven safe/effective. Improve water quality, sanitation, refrigeration & transportation fresh food cut down infectious disease- not shots. Will drs & govt. ever stop pushing them? Front cover book about mandatory small pox shot UK 1852-1907 Bodily Matters by Nadia Durbach has picture of Grim Reaper giving baby a shot. As then- have to be grassroots

My dad had 3 siblings - 3 out of the 4 contracted poiio at the same time. The good news is, they all had a 'mild case' of polio. How tragic polio was.

@tefisher1984 - Poor bugger must be rolling over in his grave from the legacy of suffering and death he's been responsible for.

@HowAboutSomeTruth1 - Since Nixon declared a war on cancer, billions have been squandered on research with nothing to show but an epedemic of the disease. Of course, there are the routine breakthroughs to keep the drug stockholders and those with a vested interest happy. Looks like the skeptics who say cancer research is a fraud are the ones logical thinkers should take the word of. Yours appears as meaningless as that of the medical mafia who laugh in the face of suckers like you.
