POLIO CONNECTION OF AMERICA

Letter From Department of Health & Human Services

Now, we are in receipt of a copy of a letter addressed to P. Daenzer RN Michigan from the Dept. Health & Human Services 9/21/95 stating 25-40% of persons who contracted polio in their childhood may experience ... (PPS). Notice how the DHH figure is far less than the 60% as reported by the Mayo Clinic on page 4 of this issue. Why?

An attachment to the letter states that there are 8-10 cases of vaccine-associated poliomyelitis (VAP) each year in the United States. Then, we acquired from the internet a recent report from WHO (World Health Organization, United Nations) and what does it show. For the years 1990, 1991, and 1992 it notes no vaccine associated Poliomyelitis and for the year 1993 it notes 2 VAP’s and for 1994 it notes 1 VAP

Again, we note how the DHH underplays a fact by not properly reporting the facts to the WHO and we want to know why our government is hiding the truth from the WHO.

Well, if our government is hiding the truth from WHO, could they also be hiding some truth from us. Just what is going on?

Finally, the letter also states that, “There is no evidence, however, that persons who did not experience an acute paralytic illness following OPV (Oral Polio Vaccine a.k.a. Sabin Live Vaccine) vaccination are at risk for post-polio syndrome. Similarly, there is no evidence that persons who had an inapparent or subclinical infection with the wild poliovirus 30-40 years ago are at risk for post-polio syndrome (PPS)”

Now, that prior quote simply states if you don’t see it, it ain’t so. Or, if you cannot measure it, weigh it, test for it, etc. , etc. it does not exist. Well I guess gravity don’t exist or many other things that we don’t see don’t exist either.

Well, Gini Laurie many years ago did recognize that something was happening with Polio Survivors. If she did not act there probably would not be a recognized condition today known as PPS. Remember, nobody today can see or measure PPS but we know it exists! The effects , like gravity are ever present to us all of us Polio Survivors. Even the Social Security Department recognizes that it exists.

Therefore, someone or anyone can take the position that once a Polio virus enters your system either with the natural wild virus or the Sabin live virus the possibility of future damage in your body is forever present. Let the Dept. of H&H prove otherwise and if they cannot then they should stop the use of the Sabin ‘live’ vaccine completely.

There was another thing that disturbed us with the letter we noted. It simply referred to 8 - 10 cases of vaccine - associated poliomyelitis (VAPP) each year in the United States. It seemed to say nothing else happened , you either got Polio or you did not but, you and I know that during the epidemics plenty things happened. Some people had very mild cases and quickly went home, others had major problems and did not go home for months and some even died. We wondered about this and wondered if the eight cases referred only to cases like Gordon Pierson.

OPV Vaccine Report

The net result is that we began our own investigation and commissioned an OPV Vaccine Report and started making all kinds of other inquires. The OPV Vaccine report that we received was shocking report. It covered a recent period of almost 5 years and the following is the summary for that period:

The number of Vaccine Associated events that occurred: 13,641
The number of events requiring emergency room visits 6,364
The number of life threatening events 236
The number of events requiring hospitalization 1726
The number of events resulting in permanent disability 133
The number of events with unknown recovery status 1695
The number of events resulting in death 540

So seems to end the nonsense of 8-10 cases of vaccine associated Poliomyelitis each year and as the saying goes we have opened Pandora's Box. Information is now coming in from various sources and the picture is one that we are calling the “The Great Deception Part 2”. We will be preparing a ‘Polio Vaccine Report’ with all the information we receive and that report will be available by the end of the 1995. We, as you know, tried to stop the Sabin live ‘oral' vaccine completely but I guess we were ‘ too little and too late’. For, on or about Oct. 18 - 19 our government adopted another new Polio vaccination policy which does not meet our request for total stoppage of the Sabin ‘live’ vaccine. They have elected to decrease the occurrence of VAPP in the United States by using the Salk ‘dead’ vaccine (IPV) in combination with the Sabin ‘live’ vaccine(OPV)

. I don’t know what the statement ‘decrease the occurrence of VAPP’ will mean except that they ‘expect’ the number new Polio cases to be less than present. Well, we don’t know who will be the unfortunate ones to get polio but I think we should do all in our power to stop it.

We have therefore, prepared and enclosed a flyer for you to distribute. Alter it as you see fit, but distribute it. Who knows the child you save may be your heir or his/her spouse or another loved one
