Only children were given the vaccine during the who-doh vaccination campaign. It is possible that an adult contracted polio overseas and did not develop symptoms, came home within the infectious stage time frame, then passed it on. Baka umebak sa ilog (picnic-picnic kasi kakauwi lang from abroad) then the victim was exposed to the contaminated water. Malas niya kasama siya sa 5% na nagdedevelop ng symptoms after contracting the virus. And sa 1% na deadly ang symptoms.

most probably hindi nga polio iyong mga nakikkita mo since 3 dysfunctional countries na lang , according to the who, ang currently may infected citizens (pakistan, nigeria, and afghanistan) .... ngayon 4 na kasama tayo. ergo, dysfunctional na din tayo

Don't feel bad. We have typhus and bubonic plague in California.

I'm more worried about the rising cases of people being infected with HIV. Many don't even know they carry it.

Polio at least has known and counter effective measures for it.

2019 na. Bopol ka na lang pag mahawa ka pa ng hiv.

Abstain.
And stick to one.
Use condom.
Don't share needles. Tatoos included.
