The Real History of Polio's IRON LUNGS and what we replaced them with.
I often inform people of the perils and failures of vaccines.
Below is a typical reader response to an article I wrote: ➜ ...

"This is a picture of people in the iron lung,
from the Polio Epidemic in the 50s and 60s.
Could you imagine having something like this come back...?"
As you can see in the comment section of that article, my response was:
This is a picture of the modern "Iron Lung".
And it happened to this boy because of a vaccine.
Vaccines cause paralysis too.
And here is his story I put on Steemit:

Also, most cases of polio only appeared like sniffles or a cold.
Vaccines actually contributed to Polio Paralysis.
It was called "Provocation Polio."
Read my article on that here:

So What Is An Iron Lung?
No device is more associated with polio than the tank respirator, better known as the iron lung. Physicians who treated people in the acute, early stage of polio saw that many patients were unable to breathe when the virus’s action paralyzed muscle groups in the chest. Death was frequent at this stage, but those who survived usually recovered much or almost all of their former strength.
Nothing worked well in keeping people breathing until 1927, when Philip Drinker and Louis Agassiz Shaw at Harvard University devised a version of a tank respirator that could maintain respiration artificially until a person could breathe independently, usually after one or two weeks. The machine was powered by an electric motor with two vacuum cleaners. The pump changed the pressure inside a rectangular, airtight metal box, pulling air in and out of the lungs.

Wikipedia says:
Because of ... the development of MODERN VENTILATORS, and widespread use of TRACHEAL INTUBATION and TRACHEOTOMY, the iron lung has mostly disappeared from modern medicine.
In 1959, there were 1,200 people using tank respirators in the United States, but by 2004 there were only 39. By 2014, there were only 10 people left with an iron lung.

Note that there were only 19 centers across the whole of the USA!
When old photos like the "Tank Farm" above are shown, people make the false assumption that these types of care units were in most cities across the USA. But with so few units existing, of course there were a large number of patients in each one.
The need for ventilators has not gone away, but the old cumbersome and bulky technology of Tank Respirators (Iron Lungs) has simply been upgraded and replaced.
As you can see on the slide above, paralytic conditions today that may require mechanical ventilation include Guillain Barre, ALS and Myasthenia Gravis. All of which can be caused by vaccines themselves!
...
Guillain-Barre Syndrome is a side-effect of most vaccines, especially the flu shot.
See My Article: Medical Ethics Professor in West Virginia shares his concerns surrounding VACCINE SAFETY and EFFICACY
They symptoms are not much different than polio. In fact, many of the cases labelled as polio were likely actually Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
Guillain-Barré Syndrome is the leading cause of nontraumatic acute paralysis in industrialized countries. About 30% of patients have respiratory failure requiring intensive care unit (ICU) admission and invasive mechanical ventilation.
The need for mechanical ventilators has not gone away.
So in conclusion, Polio Vaccination is not what got rid of the Iron Lung. New technology simply replaced it.
If there were only 19 centers or "farms" around the USA today that housed ventilator equipment and all those who needed them to stay alive, I imagine that the patients would vastly outnumber the days of polio, even adjusting for population growth.

Another awesome post @canadian-coconut. Out of all the vaccine cons polio has got to be one of the worst. And it's another great example of the vaccine/sickness industry renaming a disease in order to make it look like it has become less common - Acute Flaccid Paralysis
Another little known problem that arose with the polio vaccine is the fact that 30 million people were infected with a cancer virus from 1955 to 1963. I feel quite certain that the numbers quoted on this CDC fact sheet are conservative. No wonder cancer is everywhere today. Just imagine how much money Big Pharma has raked in through cancer treatments that really are for the most part ineffective as well as the numbers of people who have had to rely on the "Modern Day Iron Lung Machine" because of being infected with cancer so many years ago.
@canadian-coconut another informative post.... upvoted, resteemed and shared
Amazing, as usual. The iron lung argument is one of the first 'go tos' of the pro vaccine tyranny crowd.
Yes, it is one of the first over-simplified soundbite arguments for why the polio vaccine was so great.
I had to tackle it.
Good information as always. Keep up the good work!
Thanks @wakeupnd
Keep up the good work!
Thank-you very much! I will try.
You have produced quite a body of excellent posts regarding vaccination that is helping to inform and educate people. It's possibly the first resource of it's kind on a blockchain in the world. That's quite something.
Ah thanks @benjojo ! I really hope that the info gets read and helps a few people.
I hadn't thought before of how it may be the first on the blockchain!
(p.s. I think that you forgot to vote)
My apologies, I am currently abstaining from voting in order to help in the effort to give more power to those with less stake. I'm no whale but I committed to sharing in their efforts and I think it's having a very positive effect on the whole platform. If I was still voting, you would definitely get my full power vote.
Ah okay. Thanks for explaining.
I seriously don't know what to to write. How exactly would you explain this:
?
The point of this article was that the lowered incidence of polio (as it was defined) did NOT lower the need for Iron Lungs or Ventilators needed to breath due to paralysis.
You will see in the above article that the definition of Polio changed right after the vaccine was widely distributed.
Polio went down, but other conditions that can cause paralysis increased.
Realize that most cases of polio were never confirmed with blood tests to see if the polio virus was even present. They were labelled as polio if certain symptoms existed. After the vaccine, they made it much, much more difficult to label something as polio.
Again, the point of this article is that paralysis induced breathing disorders did not decrease.
The polio vaccine is not what did away with the Iron Lung as people like to assume.
I disagree with you on so many levels...
But a discussion won't make any sense. I won't be able to convince you and any attempt will simply encourage your defence against scientific facts and strengthen your current believe system.
