Polio "Non-Outbreak" Among the Amish
On October 14, the major media outlets shrieked a report of “the first outbreak of polio in the United States in 26 years,” occurring in an
Amish community in central Minnesota. The specter of hundreds of children in braces and iron lung machines lining the halls of hospitals immediately
danced through the air, and directly into the minds of parents who have chosen to not vaccinate their children.
Turns out there was no polio outbreak. Just another scare tactic. I was hearing somewhere--I can't remember if it was here at ATS or not--about an
Amish polio outbreak attributed to no vaccines, and I happened upon this article today.
