Right from the get go, we know that's not going to be an honest and thorough

investigation. Although, that doesn't really come as a surprise unfortunately.

Wickipedia points out the problem right here:

Iatrogenic (vaccine-induced) polio

A major concern attributable to the oral polio vaccine (OPV) is that it can

revert to a virulent form.[22] Clinical disease caused by vaccine-derived

poliovirus (VDPV) is indistinguishable from that caused by wild

polioviruses.[23] This is believed to be a rare event, but outbreaks of

vaccine-derived poliovirus (VDPV) have been reported, and tend to occur in areas

of low coverage by OPV, presumably because the OPV is itself protective against

the related outbreak strain.[24][25] Reversion is not possible in IPV

vaccinations used in the U.S., and thus vaccine-induced polio is not a concern.

Paste the two lines above together and add a dot, so the URL

becomes .../topics/article.asp?cu_no=2 & ...

I'll try to do this, but I suspect this will also get cut in half:

=1 & template_id=40 & parent_id=22

These kinds of human rights violations also occur here in Finland (and

probably in many other countries around the world as well), where

parents are not told about the medically acknowledged adverse effects

and risks of vaccines which are being offered to them. The cases may

be milder in the sense that there probably isn't physical forcing

being used, but parents may not know vaccines are voluntary and in

most cases are not told about the risks.
