The Untold Story of Polio
By Tracy Slepcevic
Renaming and Vaccine-Induced Disorders to Hide Their Mistakes
Polio is often cited as one of the great success stories of modern vaccination. Public health officials frequently tout the campaign to eradicate the disease as a triumph of science. However, the historical reality of polio eradication is far more complex and troubling than the simplified narrative suggests. While the disease may have been renamed or reclassified under various conditions, and vaccines themselves have been implicated in causing polio-like disorders, these critical details remain absent from the mainstream discourse.
Polio: A Disease Reclassified
One of the most overlooked aspects of the polio eradication story is the reclassification of the disease. Once synonymous with paralysis, polio has been renamed and diagnosed under a variety of conditions, including:
-
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)
-
Transverse Myelitis
-
Acute Flaccid Myelitis (AFM)
-
Spinal Meningitis
-
Chinese Paralytic Syndrome
-
Inhibitory Palsy
-
This reclassification has obscured the true impact and persistence of polio-like conditions. While public health authorities claim victory over the virus, these renamed conditions often present identical symptoms to polio, including paralysis and muscle weakness.
