    Actually, the NY case is vaccine-derived.

    Meaning, the guy caught it from someone who received the live oral vaccine.

    How's that work?

    Honest question.

    It’s a vaccine that’s made with live polio virus. The one that was given in a sugar cube.

    Sometimes, that vaccine virus infects a person just like the wild virus would. And it can spread just like the wild virus can.

    It’s why the U.S. stopped using that vaccine a few decades ago. The injectable one we use now is made with dead virus particles.

    What is your cite for this? Not being a dick, just interested.

    My Mom had polio, I don't know for sure, probably when she was 12 years old or so? She was born in 1931 and grew up in Wilmington, NC, so the years and area make good sense. Her sister, younger than my mom by 6 years, can remember the quarantined notices on the house. She had a good recovery, but in her late 60's, she developed a weak left leg. No biggie. She continued to mow her own grass into her 80's. Between 70 years old and her mid 80's she had unexplained falls. Weakness just overcame her. Then we discovered something known as post-polio syndrome. No real reason to share this story but every time I read the term "long Covid" I think of this. If the vaccine can mitigate symptoms, shed, etc., take it.

    NPR has a story in it.
    I can’t link NPR here, but they have a story on it.

    I presume you have a degree in epidemiology.

    If you were vaccinated as a kid as 99% of us were, you have nothing to worry about.

    You know who doesn't have a degree in epidemiology? The people who conceived of and developed the fucking vaccine.

    Eric Feigl-Ding does. If you listened to him you'd be entering your 30th month staying in bed with the covers over your head.

    You mean like Edward Jenner or Louis Pasteur?
