Was it? You of course have a citation stating that "factoid", I assume. Can we see it?
...All live viral vaccines carry a tiny risk of causing a version of the disease they are trying to prevent...that's a given. I sincerely doubt that Sabin decreed his vaccine as being exempt from this phenomenon.
No shit? Well, only the stupid donтАЩt play with house money when itтАЩs laying on the table. Of course there are terrible reactions and even death associated to many vaccines. Considering they are single digit if not single decimals of the total who would suffer without them, only a fool would be anti-VAX. Improving the vaccine should be the goal. Christ, vaccinations and orthopedics are about the only two things Western medicine is doing right. If you are anti-VAX, healthcare just isnтАЩt your niche.
It is an extreme act of ignorance to pretend the mRNA clot shot is anything similar to any of the other vaccines that have been used for the last 100 years, or to pretend the risk from Covid is anything similar to polio. If youтАЩre anti-critical thinking, maybe acting like a flaming ahole is just your niche. Sit down and STFU.
A citation behind a paywall. Lovely. I guess if you went to the CDC or NIH, youтАЩd wouldnтАЩt get numbers you like.
In 1952 alone, nearly 60,000 children were infected with the virus; thousands were paralyzed, and more than 3,000 died. 5% of infected CHILDREN died from polio, not the obese over 80 population at most risk from COVID. How many children cumulatively have died from COVID since 2020?
Vaccine acquired paralytic polio was once considered ridiculously implausible as well.

I stand corrected the Scientific community was well aware of the potential to acquire paralytic polio from the vaccine.
I cannot say the public was fully informed of the potential.
As if that has anything to do with the millions of people who arenтАЩt contracted polio due to the vaccine? Sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up
The science is always settled until it isnтАЩt. that is the point.

Yes, it's silly to assume the risks from Covid are similar to polio, because the risks from Covid are far greater.
Your ignorance is astounding.
Can you quote me the IFRs for Polio and for Covid, Phil?
тАжWhich is larger?
Please give your sources, no fudging about Covid please by claiming Covid deaths arenтАЩt from Covid, for instance.
Just looked it up, and polio is more deadly by magnitudes. You tell me what the IFR is, smart as.
Polio is usually asymptomatic. Paralytic polio occurs at a frequency of 0.1-0.5% of cases, and of paralytic cases between 2-10% are fatal.
That translates to an IFR of between 0.002% - 0.05%.
CovidтАЩs IFR ranges from 0.1-0.5%, making it more lethal than polio by at least one order of magnitude.
