Sequence analysis of wastewater surveillance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found poliovirus samples in Nassau County, bringing the total to 5 counties -- Rockland County, Orange County, Sullivan County, New York City, and now, Nassau County.The August sample from Nassau County on Long Island has been genetically linked to the case identified in Rockland county -- showing further evidence of expanding community spread.
"Bolstering the immunization drive, the E.O. immediately expands the network of polio vaccine administrators with the addition of EMS workers, midwives, and pharmacists and authorizes physicians and certified nurse practitioners to issue non-patient specific standing orders for polio vaccines," the release from DHS said.
Break out the iron lungs for the deniers and anti-vaxxrs. You do NOT want be confined indefinitely in one of those. (Look up 'Polio Paul') Typically children spent about two to three weeks in an iron lung. Adults could spend months to a year—or longer.
More vaccine business ahead ? COVID ainda enough ?
JUST SAY NO! IT IS BIOWEAPON, ALWAYS HAS BEEN. PLEASE BE SMART
I read it across the botfer.
Okay CNN. Who released the biological weapon? Jake? Russia? Or the US? It only exists in two samples on the planet. One in Atlanta at the CDC and the other is in Moscow. So what gives?
The anti-vaxxers want all the diseases back, it will be utter chaos again soon!
That's because you have it in your water !!!!!
State of disaster? C'mon people, it's just more control of you by your government! Should there be - sure. No need for the fear mongering and the control a 'disaster' brings.
What a pompous jersey, not his mother thats for sure
Holy sh*t....its been about 46 years since polio vaccines were available for kids in the US. I know bc my 1st kid got the vax and 2.5 yrs later i called the pediatrician for the vax. He said not doing it anymore bc polio essentially gone. I could get it if moving to Africa.
The difference is the polio vaccine actually WORKED!
No… no… it will suck money from the American taxpayers to fill their pockets
The question needs to be whose putting it in the water? It was eradicated. It doesn't miraculously decide to reappear.
Oh please this is ridiculous
Look out here comes the plague
If people would focus more on CLEANLINESS and HIGH STANDARDS we would not be in this obscene situation of sickness and chaos.
First Arsenic in the water, now this. Vote her out!
Odd.. Weren't people just last year using Polio as an example of an 'eradicated' virus to support vaccine awareness?
what the fuck
Pretty soon there will be a nice conspiracy to say the poliovirus was from China... I can't wait!
How did it occur ?

Fear is controlling more fear more control simple as that
The polio vaccine is a part of children's shots as early as 3 months old in Canada. These vaccines are mandatory for kids to be able to attend school. Is that not the case in the USA?
We haven't had this for YEARS due to vaccines but NEW parents (who are probably vaccinated) all of the sudden don't think their children don't need to be vaccinated. Child endangerment!!!
kathy rules Jesus says he offers eternal life do the math
The parents who did not vaccinate their kids against this age old disease is not only doing immeasurable harm to their own kids but causing harm to all the school going kids in NY state as well in other states; it is criminal
MORE POISON
No excuse not to vaccinate your kids against polio.
Another election another state of emergency for a virus that we have not heard about until the last minute. Hmmmmm smells like a Demorat again.
This shit needs to stop, how stupid do you think we are Mr government
Another plandemic!!!!
Sad news. Polio eradication program is going to close in the world but in America found polio virus 😮
Lies
Wow!!!! Just wow!!!! Any news of the constant issues of people with TB coming into this country? Didn’t think so!!!!
I only found reference to one case
Why does everything have to be made political
Where’s the proof! Just another ploy.
Maybe they should start by vaccinating these foreigners who are illegally crossing ourborder.
If anti-vaxxers succumb to polio and become wheelchair bound, what’s the worst that could happen? They would mobilize and move for us to roll out free healthcare then. 🤔
Once again, ALL OF US in the 1950s got the polio vaccine AND the smallpox vaccine Until todays paranoia about over vaccines these HORRIBLE VIRUSES WERE ERADICATED!!! End of discussion. IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS and it destroys lives!!!
jab jab jab
Lol hochel is a clown 🤡
Lack of Vacations will catch up to the un-vacanated
Go figure. Demoncrats are full of so called crisis
So now they’ve released the poliovirus. This isn’t 1931. The government should just be honest and say they want to control the population 🙄
Must be all them immigrants lol 😆
Only in A M E R I K A H 🙄
This is insanity... we successfully eradicated that horrible disease YEARS ago, but thanks to anti-vaxxers it's back. What other old-world diseases are they going to help make a comeback?!
Why are Americans afraid of socialism here in Canada we have universal health care affordable housing strict laws on guns very peaceful here
This happens if you fail to get the vaccine.
And no one in New York is even aware of this … So much for the news media.
Should probably vote by mail.
shut down the new york borders and do not let anyone leave the state. then deport the problem.
You still have polio in the US? What a primitive country…
Just keep busing them in from the border without being immunized! 😤
Thanks anti-vaxxers.
Oh my goodness polio virus what's next
Polio to Antivaxxers:
الكوارث المتلاحقة عليكم سببها سياسة (الشيطان أمريكا) وتحالفكم مع نهجها الإجرامي بحق الشعوب عامة! وفي قتل وحصار وتجويع الشعب اليمني خاصة مدة 8أعوام والله تعالى يقول وَكَذَلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَى وَهِيَ ظَالِـمَةٌ إِنَّ أَخْذَهُ أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ صدق الله الجبار
