Vaccine Induced Polio


           I got polio as a child. It was not because I was not vaccinated. It was precisely because I got vaccinated against polio, in a case of Vaccine Induced Polio (VIP) or Vaccine Associated Paralytic Polio (VAPP). Every time someone told my mother that my paralyzed legs were due to polio, she would staunchly deny it. She had vaccinated her child. Based on that premise it was thus impossible that I had had polio. In her view it was the "Quinimax" injection I received when I arrived at the hospital with high fever, screaaming of pain, that caused it. For years after she would refuse any needle injection on me. When I arrived in France in 1990, I was told by a French physician who was stationed in Africa that indeed my condition told me it was indeed polio that I had and that "the inconvenient truth" was that it was most likely have been induced by the polio vaccine that I received. I just want to collect here a few videos that I have found of similarly afflicted individuals who have made postings on youtube, and I pay tribute to their courage.
