Are UNICEF Live Polio Vaccines Causing Polio Among Syrians? 1.7 Billion
Polio Vaccines Purchased by UNICEF
Health Impact News Editor
While Syria has been reportedly polio free since 1999, the discovery of 10
new cases of polio inside Syria has prompted UNICEF to begin vaccinating
over 20 million Syrian children under the age of five with the live oral
polio vaccine. The aggressive campaign also targets Syrian children outside
of Syria in neighboring countries where numerous refugee camps exist.
As
<

te20millionchildrenagainstpolio.html> Al Jazeer is reporting, "We're never
going to know how exactly how it arrived in Syria." Guesses are that it
originated in Pakistan.
Unfortunately, what UNICEF reports and what gets republished in almost all
mainstream media reports regarding the polio vaccine, fail to mention that
this is the live oral polio vaccine, which actually sheds the virus, and
that the vaccine is known to cause outbreaks of polio and paralysis. The
fact that the oral polio vaccine contains "pathogenic vaccine-derived
polioviruses" is
<
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18180708?dopt=Abstract> very well
documented in the scientific literature, but seldom, if ever, reported in
the popular media. Children carrying around the live virus shed it, and it
ends up in the sewage systems.
The live oral polio vaccine has not been used in the United States for over
a decade, nor in most other parts of the world. The inactivated poliovirus
vaccine is used instead. But this requires an injection, and it is much
easier to administer a live oral polio vaccine (see photo above),
particularly where mass vaccination is desired.
Mass vaccination is what is being implemented today among 20 million Syrian
children refugees, as well as

500,000 Filipino children in areas affected by Typhoon Haiyan/Yolanda in the
Philippines. It is also widely used in poor rural areas in Africa and
countries like Pakistan and
<
http://healthimpactnews.com/2014/the-vaccine-myth-of-polio-free-status-poli
o-vaccine-caused-53000-paralysis-victims-in-india-last-year/> India. In all
of these areas, the live oral polio vaccine is used, in spite of the fact
that it is known to cause polio and paralysis. Even the World Health
Organization (WHO)
<
http://www.who.int/biologicals/areas/vaccines/polio/opv/en/> admits this,
although they claim the occurrence is "rare." How "rare," of course, is not
stated.
Doctors and researchers who understand the dangers and risks of the oral
polio vaccine (OPV) have been calling for an end to this terrible vaccine
for years now. An editorial appeared in the Oxford Journals Clinical
Infectious Diseases periodical in 2005 titled, "
<
http://jid.oxfordjournals.org/content/192/12/2033.full.pdf> When Can We
Stop Using Oral Poliovirus Vaccine?" It was written by Dr. Harry F. Hull of
the Minnesota Department of Health, and Dr. Philip D. Minor of the Division
of Virology, National Institute for Biological Standards and Control, in the
United Kingdom. They requested that the oral polio vaccine be stopped:
Why must OPV vaccination be stopped? Vaccine-associated paralytic
poliomyelitis was recognized shortly after the introduction of OPV, with
cases occurring in both vaccines and their contacts. The time is coming when
the only cause of polio is likely to be the vaccine used to prevent it.
Ample molecular data are now available to demonstrate that vaccine viruses
can revert to full neurovirulence. Outbreaks of polio in China, Egypt,
Haiti, Madagascar, and the Philippines caused by circulating, neurovirulent
vaccine-derived polioviruses (VDPVs) demonstrate that these revertent
strains are fully transmissible and pose significant population risks. (

Again, in 2009, an editorial was published in the Oxford Journals Clinical
Infectious Diseases periodical titled, "
<
http://cid.oxfordjournals.org/content/49/8/1287.full> Time for a Worldwide
Shift from Oral Polio Vaccine to Inactivated Polio Vaccine", by Dr Aamir
Shahzad of the Department of Structural Biology and Biomolecular Chemistry
at the University of Vienna. He wrote:
OPV has lost its effectiveness in providing herd immunity. It seems that
children are getting polio from OPV, and it also seems that OPV is proving
to be ineffective in stopping polio transmission from another source.
Therefore, the whole world-and especially developing countries-should shift
from OPV to IPV. ( <
http://cid.oxfordjournals.org/content/49/8/1287.full>
Source.)
It is interesting to note that when Dr. Shahzad wrote this in 2009, he said:
"According to the World Health Organization, routine immunization with OPV
must cease after the eradication of poliovirus because of the danger of
outbreaks of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus and the risk of VAPP."
So why, here in 2013, is WHO and UNICEF still administering the dangerous
oral polio vaccine, especially in countries like the Philippines where there
has not been a single case of polio since 1993?
This year (2013), UNICEF has already purchased 1.35 billion doses of the
oral polio vaccine, and they are using the polio outbreaks among the Syrian
refugee children and the typhoon tragedy in the Philippines to increase that
number to 1.7 billion doses by the end of this year. (
<
http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2013/11/8/-syria-s-neighborstovaccina
te20millionchildrenagainstpolio.html> Source.) That's a very large windfall
for the pharmaceutical companies! Could this be why they are so reluctant to
stop producing this vaccine? The vaccine is administered free of charge, as
taxpayers from countries supporting the United Nations fund the purchase of
these vaccines (the United States is the largest supporter of the United
Nations.)
These nearly 2 BILLION doses of the live oral polio vaccine are all targeted
to children under the age of 5. In a report published in
<
http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736%2804%2917560
-0/fulltext> the Lancet (free registration required to read) in 2004, it was
revealed that in the countries where UNICEF was working, deaths of children
under the age of 5 actually increased! Is it a coincidence that this is the
same age group UNICEF targets with their vaccine programs?
So, returning to the question of how did polio spread to these Syrian
children, is it possible that oral polio vaccine itself caused it? Did
UNICEF begin vaccinating Syrian children with the live oral polio vaccine
before any cases of polio were reported?

In November of 2012 through January of this year (2013), there was already a
mass oral polio vaccine campaign underway targeting 2.5 million children
under the age of 5, even though there had not be a single case of polio
prior to 1999.
