Gaza ministry warns thousands of people displaced by the Israel-Gaza war are at risk of contracting the disease which can cause deformities and paralysis
I thought the polio vaccine wasn’t fully effective. The idea is that with a wide enough coverage, it keeps the number of infected low and manageable.
If it were to find a large concentration of hosts, there’s a danger of it getting to critical mass to where vaccinated people are also at risk due to greater exposure.
But maybe I have my horrible historically devastating viruses mixed up?

Like all vaccines, it was until antivax idiots stopped giving it to their children.
The disease was almost completely eradicated in the countries with vaccine programs before idiots started to endanger everyone just like they did with covid.
Likewise, there was little to no polio in Gaza before Israel started systematically destroying the healthcare infrastructure responsible for vaccines and treatment, and now they’re likely on the brink of an epidemic if not in the middle of it.

This was a much bigger problem when it came to developing nations of the region. News like this spreads and what the fuck was the U.S. thinking?!

NO vaccine is 100% effective.
