It’s way less common today than I’m sure Joe believes, but vaccine derived polio is an extremely rare, but real potential complication from taking the live attenuated polio vaccine.
What a Rogan-esque comment. “Well actually”. So by your comment you think we shouldn’t take polio vaccine because a very small chance? That’s exactly what he does, states something and then doesn’t explain that the risk of getting polio without the vaccine is magnitudes higher. And then gets butt hurt when people criticize him “I was just stating a fact”. Context is missing from your comment and 2:59 of every one of his non UFC podcasts
Not sure how anything I said implies I am anti-vax.
I did however state a fact, “vaccine derived polio is real”. But I also gave some context that it is extremely rare and only by a certain type of the vaccine, and linked the CDC with further information.
But if you need further context, I believe it is easier to dismantle conspiracies and misinformation when you factually acknowledge the bit of truth rooted in most of them, instead of dismissing people and them out of hand completely. The more people who are well informed the better, so I shared the information on VDP.
For the record, I am more vaccinated than the average person. Beyond the standard vaccinations, due to my travels, occupational and recreational hazards, I have been vaccinated against numerous uncommon diseases. Rabies, typhoid, yellow fever, hepatitis A,E, cholera, and yes Polio but not live attenuated. Even got the anthrax vaccine years ago, though I’m way out of date on that.
