Re: [AVN] Re: India Polio Free? No way!

[Guest guest]

Hmmm...just saw this about India: (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/17/health/india-full-year-without-a-reported-case-of-polio-is-a-first-in-what-was-a-longtime-hot-spot.html?_r=1 & nl=health & emc=healthupdateema4) which I thought was weird because of the article below about fresh cases. Turns out those are in Pakistan, not India.

Not that it changes the absurdity of unlimited vaccines not working.
