The World Health Organization (WHO) says Israel needs to saturate the environment with a bivalent live Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV) in the hope of ridding the country of natural wild poliovirus. If you don't already know, wild type 1 polio virus has been detected in the sewage system in Israel, and is thought to have been brought in by a Bedouin from Egypt. Nobody is known to have had any clinical symptoms as a result, but the WHO and Israeli Ministry Of Health (MOH) believe that it may only be a matter of time before susceptible persons become paralyzed. All who have tested positive for the virus thus far, have gained immunity and are asymptomatic.

I made a VIDEO weeks ago suggesting that the Israeli MOH may not have thought this through rationally, and that fearful parents could end up running to both OPV and IPV vaccines, even though they have never considered vaccinating before.

There has been massive opposition within Israel to vaccinating with OPV. The MOH has been fumbling for answers to the opposition, contradicting itself, and misinforming parents about many issues. Even though Israel uses the injected Inactivated Polio Vaccine (IPV), like many developed countries, a decision has been handed down to vaccinate the entire country of Israel with a two-strain, bivalent OPV.

Parents are writing me every day because they feel "frightened" and "terrorized" by the WHO/MOH decision to release a live communicable vaccine virus that reverts to virulence in the recipients, and has been found to circulate in populations where it is was used, 10 to 20 years after its discontinuation (HOVI 2013, SHULMAN 2000).

The questions asked of me are: What are the risks? What are the odds? What should people do to protect their children from revertant virus shedding from other children?

Parents are rightly concerned about revertants, which are viruses that, after being made tame or attenuated, by passing them through monkey kidneys and other animal cells, revert to their former potentially neurovirulent selves once they are fed to humans. They can cause something called vaccine-associalted paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP) in susceptible persons. When paralysis from wild polio virus is very low, countries stop using OPV because the cases of polio from the vaccine exceed the cases from wild polio. At this point in time there is no indication for OPV in Israel. At this point in time the calculated number of cases of paralysis associated with wild virus is ZERO.

WHO/MOH say that if you give your child the OPV now, they will be protected from revertants, because if everyone does it, herd immunity will prevent problems. I would like to know how they support that statement, given the fact that revertants occur most frequently after the first OPV dose, rather than subsequent ones, and that the problem of reversion is inescapable.

Will Israel ever be able to stop more import and export of wild virus with OPV? Wild virus is found in fully vaccinated populations. In Madagascar, in 1999 Dr. Andrianarivelo REPORTED wild polio virus in well immunized persons. They said it replicated asymptomatically in children given 3 doses of Sabin vaccine (trivalent OPV) at least 5 mos before the testing. This has very important implications for the hope of world wide polio extinction.

OPV isn't given just to protect a child from getting infected with polio virus. So why are they really giving OPV? It's given to put competing virus into the gut to interfere with the wild virus and revertant vaccine viruses, AND to put massive amounts of interfering polio virus into the environment and sewage system to try to slow down, or stop the wild virus.

Why a mass vaccination campaign in a country that has NO clinical paralysis? Could it be that any crack in the effort towards worldwide polio eradication has to be attacked full force JUST to try to meet a goal of eradication of wild polio, as problems with revertant OPV plague countries who have used it, and wild virus keeps showing up? Is this really about saving face for the polio eradication effort that has missed its goal numerous times, and now has a rather embarrassing track record in India, with Indian doctors now protesting use of OPV in that country? Have a look at THIS VIDEO and pay attention to what Dr Puliyel says.

What if the world became aware of the fact that there are many major problems with the OPV, and there have been significant failures of IPV? Poliovirus associated paralysis is such a low-incidence disease, with so many variables relating to the environment and the person, that doing good studies to calculate risk are probably impossible.

This vaccination campaign is a win/win situation for the MOH, WHO and vaccinationists world wide, because it gets the needle into the child and breaks down the parents' resistance. And if their IPV vaccinated child gets provocation polio, from getting an injection at the time the child is incubating (known as provocation polio) any circulating virulent polio virus, who will care? MOH will just say their kid was the unlucky one, or that they should have vaccinated before now.

So what are nonvaccinating parents to do?

First, is to fully realize that the society we live in reads lots of words on paper, and listens to words in the media, most of which are fiction. It is easy to be duped and not realize what is fiction, especially when fear takes hold. Often, what is classified as "news" is carefully written or fictitious, with a goal to achieve an "end." That is exactly what's happening in Israel right now. The people who are "lost" may be lost because they have no core convictions about what they believe, either naturally, or spiritually. They got even more lost by "going with the flow" like dead fish floating out to the ocean. Everyone else was floating out to the ocean, so that's the right way.

Non-vaccinators can be as proficient at going with the flow and not understanding what they don't understand, as the provaccine are.

Those who are lost have a choice right now. They can remain powerless, frightened, stunned and filled with doubt. Those people will end up like weeds growing on a rooftop when the hot east wind blasts through.

The other choice, and the one I recommend, because the odds of flourishing are so much greater (and the most common question I get is about beating the odds), is to ditch the fear by whatever means necessary. Whomever does this, learns the truth, and figures out how to cultivate health in their families, will have the best chance of sending roots deep into the ground, and trees that produce the best fruit ­ for generations. Those who are able to do this will stand the best odds of thriving in this period of environmental saturation with OPV (which will likely continue for years after the OPV campaign is finished). And their children will be healthier and more disease-resistant in general. What vaccine does that? None. Does fear EVER accomplish that? Never.

A solid conviction basis is essential. What can you confidently commit your lives to? The fear of "what if something goes wrong?" or "the knowing that you are doing all you can do to keep your belief out of the fear campaign and your child disease-resistant?"
If you are unwilling to make a well-informed decision, then you have to allow someone else to make it for you. If you delegate your responsibility to another person ­ like me or the MOH, are you prepared to accept the outcomes, without apportioning blame, if they are not what you want?

If you will be looking for scapegoats, then I say vaccinate because at least if something goes wrong, you will have the support of those in the medical system, who will otherwise condemn you in your hour of need, should you need them.

The matter of convictions is extremely important, because it must provide an anchor to cope with life's uncertainties.

Many people ask me what I would do if I were them. I cannot tell you to vaccinate or not. But I can give you advice on improving your child's resistance. If I were in Israel today:
Where is your religious conviction? Does it lie within the church of fear, or with vaccination's civic religion, or do you believe in the integrity of the human constitution to deal with disease when supported properly? You don't need religion or spirituality, in my opinion, in order to thwart the damaging fear campaign. But you do need to divert your attention somewhere else. Anywhere else. And to have your own solid convictions that the collective fear cannot alter. Fear does indeed yield a self-fulfilling prophecy.

What makes the difference between those who are exposed to the most virulent polio viruses and have no symptoms at all, and those who become paralyzed? It is the innate immune system(RANCANIELLO 2006) that a vaccine doesn't have much affect upon, but vitamin C, a healthy diet, and a low stress level can make a world of difference for. There is plenty of evidence that a low interferon level is a major determinant of viral virulence, including for attenuated strains. Interferon is poorly manufactured in low vitamin C states. This means that those who are vitamin C deficient will have a higher susceptibility even to the attenuated strains ( Lancaster 2011 ). So keep the vitamin C stores up in order to remain unsusceptible to viral invasion.

Why then all the hype and fear? Why is the medical profession phobic about vitamin C even though there is no known toxic dose, and no death ever reported from it? Could it be an issue of patent rights, which nobody can claim? Could it be that vitamin C is preventive and therapeutic for so many diseases, that the pharmaceutical industry could have to close down buildings, if vitamin C was ever religiously used by doctors? Could it be that most toxin-producing, viral, autoimmune, allergic, and infectious diseases could be managed with no or less prescription drugs, if vitamin C was a regular part of medical practice, for which doctors received education?

For religious Jews, and the Messianic Jews, I have a message for you regarding vaccination.
A parent's duty to their family (and to God if he is part of their lifestyle), is to make an informed choice based on real scientific facts, and whatever core convictions are important in your lives. No person ever makes a decision based on facts alone. Why? Because even "facts" are not always facts, and the most important things often cannot be measured.

For me, knowing both sides, I have no fear or doubt, but I cannot convey my roots to you. You must grow your own, and know that roots that are filled with fear will never provide life.

This is part one of two: Part two will contain the argument against MOH logic to use bOPV. Part one is published first due to the number of parents asking for immediate opinion.
