Is Polio Eradication by Vaccine a Myth?

Polio and smallpox: vaccines saved us!!

Inevitably, this is the first reason brought up in conversation to explain why vaccines are essential. The image immediately conjured up is of iron lungs and calipers on poor defenseless children in a hideous epidemic. The vaccines of Sabin and Salk supposedly led us to freedom from this dreaded illness.

Points of discussion:

Polio is generally just a mild respiratory illness.
Intramuscular injections of antibiotics to counter pneumonia appeared to cause paralysis.
Inoculations of live polio caused paralysis, which is why they changed to an oral polio vaccine (OPV) by a spoon or sugar cube.
Polio never went away. It was redefined as ‘acute flaccid paralysis‘ , Guillian Barre Syndrome etc.
After mass vaccination, diagnosis of polio was changed from an upper respiratory illness to a paralysis greater than 60 days, making many polio diagnoses disappear.
Before this reclassification, polio was just a flu-like illness and paralysis was quite rare.
Polio has not been eradicated, particularly from poorer countries, and is now predominantly ‘vaccine-derived polio’.
The vaccine was introduced after the incidence of polio deaths had dramatically declined.

4 April, 2025 – How Polio Fails Koch’s Postulates

In the late 1800s, German bacteriologist Robert Koch developed four postulates, which outline a set of logical criteria necessary to establish that a microbe causes a specific disease.

They emphasize association, isolation, causation, and re-isolation. While phrased slightly differently in various sources, the postulates are most commonly stated as follows:

The microorganism must be found in abundance in all cases of those suffering from the disease, but should not be found in healthy subjects.
The microorganism must be isolated from a diseased subject and grown in pure culture.
The cultured microorganism should cause the same disease when introduced into a healthy subject.
The microorganism must be reisolated from the inoculated, diseased experimental host and identified as being identical to the original specific causative agent.

Postulate 1: The microorganism must be found in abundance in all cases of those suffering from the disease, but should not be found in healthy subjects. – “During an epidemic of poliomyelitis in Michigan in 1958, virological and serologic studies were carried out with specimens from 1,060 patients. – Fecal specimens from 869 patients yielded no virus in 401 cases, poliovirus in 292, ECHO (enteric cytopathogenic human orphan) virus in 100, Coxsackie virus in 73, and unidentified virus in 3 cases. – Serums from 191 patients from whom no fecal specimens were obtainable showed no antibody changes

Postulate 2: The microorganism must be isolated from a diseased subject and grown in pure culture.

In 1949, a man named John Enders developed a technique for allegedly cultivating the polio “virus” in vitro. He observed some chemical reactions in a cell culture, and proclaimed that a virus was present.

However, such a procedure does not represent the isolation of a pathogen in a pure culture, as acknowledged by virologist Joseph L. Melnick in 1951.

***“There is as yet no clear evidence that the* [polio] *virus has been obtained in pure form”***

Ender’s later admitted that these lab-created effects could not be “considered as necessarily the result of viral activity.”

Before the vaccine, temporary muscle weakness sufficed for a polio diagnosis. Afterward, only cases with paralysis lasting 60+ days counted.

Those cases were relabeled as viral/aseptic meningitis, transverse myelitis, Guillain-Barré, and more.
