For the dozens of Indian children who develop vaccine-induced paralysis every year, the PGEI's recent declaration of India as nearing "polio free" status, is not only disingenuous, but could be considered an attempt to minimize their obvious liability in having transformed polio from a natural disease vector into a manmade (iatrogenic) one.
VAPP is, in fact, the predominant form of the disease in developed countries like the US since 1973.4 The problem of vaccine-induced polio paralysis was so severe that the The United States moved to the inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) in 2000, after the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended altogether eliminating the live-virus oral polio vaccine (OPV), which is still used throughout the third world, despite the known risks.
Things, however, may be be far worse than reported...
A highly concerning paper published in the April-June issue of the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics discusses the possibility that the 47,500 new cases of "non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP)" in children reported in 2011, which is clinically indistinguishable from polio paralysis but twice as deadly, were directly proportional [i.e. casually linked] to doses of oral polio received. According to the authors of this paper: "Though this data was collected within the polio surveillance system, it was not investigated. The principle of primum-non-nocere [First, do no harm] was violated." In other words, instead of acknowledging the high prevalence of vaccine-associated polio paralysis (VAPP), those administering the vaccines and doing surveillance on adverse events simply reclassified the symptoms of injury from polio vaccine to non-vaccine related by coining a new disease terminology, i.e. "non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP)," which describes essentially the same symptoms. When one considers the scale of Indian eradication campaign, 47,500 cases of NPAFP, while immense, are within the realm of feasibility. According to the article:
The government of India used 2.3 million vaccinators, who visited over 200 million households to ensure that the nearly 170 million children (under five years in age) were repeatedly immunised with oral polio vaccine.
If the 47,500 case figure for NPAFP is correct, the actual scale of vaccine-related adverse effects associated with oral polio vaccine are probably 2-3 orders of magnitude higher than officially reported by the governmental and non-governmental agencies promoting their use, and by those agencies who are responsible for monitoring and reporting their adverse effects.
Cases like this illustrate how important it is that we all take a critical look at the first-hand vaccine statistics and research itself, reading between the lines when the lines have been intentionally manipulated and the truth obfuscated. For several years, our ongoing project has dedicated itself to providing the research community an alternative medical and toxicological resource for ascertaining the true risks and/or unintended consequences of conventional medical interventions such as vaccinations.
