New York officials are warning that hundreds of Empire state residents may already be infected with the devastating polio virus after it was detected in wastewater of a second county in the state.
A vaccinated person has little to worry about, and the U.S. has vaccine coverage of over 90 percent. Many had to receive the jabs to go to primary school. Inoculation lasts for life and there is no booster required for a person to stay safe from the virus.
Officials are urging the population to get vaccinated to prevent a resurgence of the devastating virus. Orange and Rockland are both among the counties with the lowest vaccine coverage against the virus - at 59 and 60 percent respectively. A person who is already vaccinated is not believed to be at any risk.

Now THAT is how a vaccine should work!

Polio is a virus and viruses mutate. It was only a matter of time before polio figured out a way around the vaccine.
We have antibiotic resistant bacteria and we will see more viral diseases mutate to infect the vaccinated.
I remember not too many years ago when measles swept through a college campus back east somewhere, and all but a few had been vaccinated. Now the CDC is calling for even more boosters for the fully vaccinated, but just like bacteria viruses will find a way to soldier on.

It would be rather odd timing for Polio to mutate all on it's own just about now wouldn't it?
New York City, the most highly populated city in the United States, accounts for over 8.23 million of the state's population and has a land area of 302.6 miles², giving it a population density of 27,000 people per mile.

Impossible, a vaccine is something that gives you "protection" for 2-6 weeks even though it seems like it doesn't do sh#.

Yes that is true but lets face polio will affect more the children as it can cause deformities than adults.
Also, most people before the 2000 have the polio vaccine and many developing countries still uses the polio vaccine on their population.
Soo where is this coming from.
