Vaccine-Derived Polioviruses Paralyze Many More Children Than Wild Polioviruses
In fact, a GPEI report published last year found that “vaccine-derived polioviruses are paralyzing nearly 50 times more children than wild polioviruses.” Of the 674 confirmed cases of paralytic polio reported from 28 countries during the 12 months up leading up to July 31, 2023, only 16 were caused by type 1 wild poliovirus. The remaining 658 confirmed cases were caused by polioviruses (type 1 and type 2) derived from the oral polio vaccines themselves. Most of these cases occurred in African and Asian countries, although there was one case of vaccine derived polio (VDP) case reported in New York and traces of VDPV2 were discovered in a sewage plant in London.4 5 6
