I remember an earlier post on this topic, saying that the main way Polio was ‘eradicated’ was by changing its name to things like ‘Polio like symptoms’. Likewise the only outbreaks came where children had been vaccinated against Polio as they were injected with live virus which later activated. I haven’t watched as no time today, but wonder if the reason for a coming outbreak is again higher levels of vaccine uptake..

Good information, but his jovial attitude when discussing paralysed kids, seems a bit wrong.
