Well thanks to vaccines, it has all but disappeared.
But leave it to the Bizzare world of Trumpcult Inc... and his new Secretary of HHS.... RFK Jr... Well at RFK Jr.'s bidding, he asked his lawyer to petition the FDA to revoke approval of the Polio Vaccine!
You can't make this $#!+ up and the truth is stranger than fiction....
But this is what you voted for!!!!
Bring back the Iron Lung! Everything I said in my post above. And.... Foxtrot Delta Tango

Siri's petition targets IPOL, which is the only "single-antigen" polio vaccine currently recommended for use in the U.S. The vaccine was approved in the 1990s.
Many children who receive immunizations for polio often do not receive IPOL, but rather, one of several combination vaccines that blend a harmless version of the poliovirus with other recommended antigens for various vaccine-preventable diseases. But no need to mention that RIGHT??? No, of course not.
They can never tell the whole story and they never will. It will be one scare tactic after another from these losers until they can get another Democrat mobster back at the helm. At that point once again it will be perfectly acceptable to push untested gene therapies on the unwashed masses.
I'm not RFK Jr.s biggest fan because when I think of the Kennedy family I can't get past two-ton Teddy the Hero of Chappaquidick and how he got that Catholic girl trashed and drove his car with her in it off a bridge only to leave her there as he walked home and slept it off.RIP Ryne Sandberg.
Your post doesn't offer any information on why RFK Jr believes this should be revoked. The only thing I've seen on that is because there weren't double blind studies initially done to prove the safety of the vaccine. The article points out that vaccines usually don't have this type of study because a placebo could possibly the participants in the study to actually contracting the disease in question.
Why did you leave that out Joe?
I don't think RFK Jr is in any way the right fit for this important position.
I wonder if Elon Musk is secretly working on a new more compact version of the Iron Lung.
