Unbelievable.
You better go read up on polio and get informed. I has not been eradicated
Type 1 polio has been eradicated worldwide. The only cases for type 2 are some isolated mountain villages in the Pakistan/Afghanistan mountain ranges.
There's no need to vaccinate for polio. Just like there's no need to vaccinate for smallpox. And if you're American, and born after 1973, then you aren't vaccinated for smallpox. Because there's no need. It's been eradicated too.
Again, if you were born in America after 1973, check your medical records and they'll show that you aren't vaccinated for smallpox. If you were born elsewhere, and are under 38 years old, then you aren't vaccinated for smallpox. And just like no one vaccinates for smallpox anymore, soon no one in the world will be vaccinating for polio.
I was read up on polio, and I was informed when I made my comment. Now what do you have to say for yourself?

Nope it's been eradicated in Africa. Maybe you're thinking of some other diseases, but polio has been eradicated on the African continent. ( Ok, ok. There have been some cases where people have gotten the disease from the vaccinations themselves, but wild polio has been eradicated in Africa) The only places that have seen any wild polio cases (type 2) are isolated villages in the mountains of Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Type 1 polio has been completely eradicated worldwide.
