A four-year-old Israeli child from Jerusalem tested positive for polio after it was revealed he was not vaccinated against the life-threatening disease, the Health Ministry said on Sunday.
The regional health administration in Jerusalem opened an epidemiological investigation and is in contact with the child and his family for specific instructions, the Jerusalem Post reported. The patient seems to have been infected with a strain that has undergone a change and could cause disease in those who are not vaccinated.
Until Sunday, no cases of polio had been recorded in Israel since 1989. The Health Ministry called on those who are not yet vaccinated to get vaccinated.
Polio is a highly infectious disease that invades the nervous system and can cause total paralysis within hours. While there is no cure, it can be prevented by vaccine, the World Health Organization has said. The toddler may remain paralyzed in half of his body as a result, N12 reported.
Pls dont give negative prognosis
I wonder why the surge now,,😏
Please please vaccinate!!
Also name to daven??
Shame on the parents or perhaps they need some education
Why the hate, someone just got diagnosed
what are you waitng for????? get vaccinated folks
But of course they will blame the illuminati, elders of zion, aliens in area 51, etc before admitting they have no idea what they are talking about
Thanks for going straw man and changing anti vaxxers positions so it’s easier to attack
Also who told you that this child wasn’t vaxxed, Is the polio vaccine effective in every case?
Literally the first paragraph of the article says it
I read they were not vaccinated in the Jerusalem post. There have been no cases in the us that were started here since ’79, let’s keep it that way!
It’s right there in the article that the child wasn’t vaccinated.
It’s curious that there wasn’t any cases in 30 years
With polio being a standard vaccine given
With time less and less ppl vaccinate making the herd immunity less which eventually allows for the virus to mutate .
These viruses never went away but we have warded them off. Simple science .
Are all antisemitic, and not one of them is an “anti vaxxer”.
The old polio vaccine wouldn’t have worked anyway. This is a ‘new strain’.
The patient seems to have been infected with a strain that has undergone a change and could cause disease in those who are not vaccinated.
Oh. So….. The vaccine wouldn’t have prevented his infection.
I recommend re-reading your own comment slowly, and maybe even out loud. Then come back and tell us what you think the article–and your comment–means.
Unlike with covid, the polio vaccine is actually effective in preventing all strains of the disease. This vaccine is highly effective. It pretty much guarantees that the child will not get it.
Read what you just wrote: “could cause disease in those who are NOT vaccinated.”
Did you read your comment before posting?
Let me quote you. The strain “could cause disease in those who are *not* vaccinated.” The article doesn’t mention the new strain’s impact on those who are vaccinated.
(Yes yes, I know. Even the original strain can cause disease in the unvaccinated — duh — so why mention the new strain to begin with? I can’t answer that, because I can’t read the mind of the author, but what I could tell you is that the article does not suggest that the new strain in vaccine resistant.)
It says “can cause disease in those who are NOT vaccinated”.
Oh. So….. the vaccine would have prevented his infection!
Oh, and please don’t expect others to read what you didn’t read yourself
“Could cause disease in those who are not vaccinated” = those who are vaccinated would not get the disease = the vaccine would have prevented this infection. Get vaccinated people. This is POLIO. Don’t paralyze your kid.
Which part of “in those who are NOT vaccinated” did you not understand?
Remember that polio is a debilitating and deadly disease for which there is no cure. Prevention is the only thing that can help.
Who really knows if there’s no cure?
Anything is possible after the suppression of hydroxychloriquine/ ivermectin together with zinc happened with covid. Heck maybe these combination drugs work for polio too. polio is viral. Who knows?
Please don’t mix anti pfizer with antivaxxers. Not a same thing
Unfortunately covid vax corruption has caused people to throw out the baby with the bath water, another issue with regular vaccines is once people start looking into them they realize that some of the mandatory ones are unnecessary (HPV) and lose faith in all of them.
It is true that being against Pfizer doesn’t necessitate being against all vaccines. However, there is huge convergence among the two groups. Gotta wonder why…
Completely agree with you!
Dr. Robert Klenner administered high doses of vitamin c to his polio patients in the 1940s and ALL RECOVERED COMPLETELY. He presented his findings to his medical colleagues at a convention and was ignored by the establishment. Today, polio vaccines needlessly cause much more paralysis worldwide than the virus does – you can research this yourself. But sadly, inexpensive therapeutics are still not being utilized and only the risky vaccines administered. Anyone wanna take a guess why?
In the western world, the polio vaccine now administered includes dead strains, and therefore carries no risk of causing polio. Unfortunately, in developing countries, the live version is still administered, which does carry the risk of causing polio.
Simply because it is a new strain does not lead one to conclude that the current vaccine would not have been as effective, mostly effective or not effective at all without further research. For example, vaccines against Covid 19 were highly effective against the subsequent Delta strain variant and were less effective but still effective against Omicron variant.
Conservative Jew from LI
HaShem should help them
How strange!
If he was the first then how did he catch it?
Unfortunately unlike usa, israel uses live polio vaccine which can mutate and cause disease in someone unvaccinated who was near them. Thats how the child caught it. Answer is israel should use killed polio vaccine like usa does to avoid this. Some children cant be vaccinated
I grew up with a rare example of what polio is. My mothers cousin lived nearby and contracted polio as a baby. He was born right after the invention of the incubator and right before the polio vaccine was discovered. He survived BH as a baby but lived with progressive paralysis. He was a truly special yid A”H and had the most positive attitude despite (when I knew him in his 30s) being able to move only his mouth (to speak), his eyes, his nose, and one finger. He lived, at times, from his bed and sometimes was able to… Read more »
