The fucking Democrats inported EBOLA, COVID and now POLIO via ILLEGAL ALIENS. We need to force these diseases into Democrat neighborhoods and see how they like the fruits of their labors.

The virus that causes paralytic polio infections has been
detected in New York City wastewater samples, state and city
health officials jointly announced Friday, sounding the latest
in a series of escalating alarms about potentially ongoing
community spread of the once-dreaded childhood disease declared
eradicated in the United States more than 40 years ago.

Concerns about the re-emergence of another viral scourge started
to intensify over the summer, when wastewater samples detected
polio in London and in Israel. Then, New York confirmed the
first U.S. polio case in decades, in an unvaccinated Rockland
County man who had a strain of the virus that likely came from a
live vaccine used only outside America. More wastewater samples
yielded more worrisome links, health officials recently said,
and more evidence of community spread.

Polio can lead to permanent paralysis of the arms and legs and
even death in some cases. And yet, New York City kids are
increasingly less likely to get their routine vaccines since
2019, "putting us at risk for outbreaks and devastating
complications of vaccine-preventable diseases," health officials
said in their news update on Friday.

As of Friday, CDC analysis confirms the presence of poliovirus
in 20 samples genetically linked to the Rockland County patient.
Of those samples, 13 were collected in Rockland County in May,
June and July, and seven samples were collected last month in
neighboring Orange County. Six positive samples of concern --
two collected in June, two collected in July -- have now been
identified in New York City, health officials say. While they
haven't yet been genetically linked to the Rockland case,
sequencing analysis shows they appear to be vaccine-derived
strains or variants or another kind of polio that can cause
illness in humans.
