Polio epidemics did not begin to occur until the latter part of the 19th century, but evidence indicates that polio is an ancient disease. A well-known stele from the 18th dynasty of ancient Egypt (1570–1342 BCE) clearly depicts a priest with a telltale paralysis and withering of his lower right leg and foot. The mummy of the pharaoh Siptah from the late 19th dynasty (1342–1197 BCE) shows a similarly characteristic deformity of the left leg and foot. However, because of the sporadic appearance of the infection, the absence of epidemics until relatively recent times, and the nonspecific nature and infrequency of the acute illness, there is hardly another recognizable trace of the disease until the 18th century. In 1789 a pediatrician in London, Michael Underwood, published the first clear description of paralytic disease of infants in a medical textbook. In the early 19th century, small groups of polio-afflicted patients began to be reported in the medical literature, but still only as sporadic cases.

LMAO 🤣

FDR had Guillain-Barre syndrome. As did MANY other people who supposedly had "polio"..... along with a slew of other diseases classified as "polio"...

More likely the spawn of some tree hugging white liberal Karen who was anti- vax 30 years ago.

I did not know that Stophel. Thanks

It’s about to turn the Health Standard for a Loop..
You can’t keep bringing in people with no Immunization History and except a Plague or Two not to pop up..

Roll Them or They Roll You

Have an old bottle of Polo.

LOL. Ralf Lauren Cologne. Used to wear that in College. I think everyone else did too.

OP still has a chance to change the title of this thread

They play Polo in NYC to this day? Long Island perhaps?

Proper grammer stymes the libtard [bleep].

A polio outbreak in NYC would be one helluva karma kickback on the libtard bastards!

Nah. Got to give the Drunk Posting Narcissist Dipschitt something to whine about.
He and his fanboys have so little in life 😂😂🤪

did it affect the riders or the horses?

School starts soon and it could spread even more diseases with the invasion from the border. Polio is a bad one.

Wait until multiple drug resistant tuberculosis starts showing up in numbers. It's common in Central America and Mexico where antibiotics are available OTC. TB that can't be treated will make polio look like athlete's foot.

I’m shocked there hasn’t been several cases in the SW, with all the fuggin wetbacks Hiden Biden let’s swim the Border everyday.
Sister-in-law that’s a School Superintendent started her first teaching job at a small town school near Lubbock. 1st grade. She had to have an interpreter in her class because none of the kids spoke English.
And that was 30 years ago. You can only imagine what it’s like nowadays.

3rd world schit hole carriers...

Honk for Joey......

Yep. Wouldn’t surprise if the first case of Monkey Pox came from there either.

That’s been the plan ever since the Traitorous Halfican occupied the WH. Turn America into a 3rd World Schitthole.

As a USN Hospital Corpsman, during the mid 60's, I worked on the Neurology ward at USN Hospital Bethesda, Md. In the spring/summer of 1967 we had several patients admitted with what was thought to be Guillain-Baree syndrome. One was a Peace Corps volunteer who had been in Africa. One was a seabee who had been stationed at Gitmo Bay, and one was a Yeoman from Boston Navy Yard. Fter several Mos. of treatment the Navy guys returned to active duty. The Peace Corps guy went home. In the months afterward one of the Neurologists told us in a meeting that there were a lot of Guillian Barre patients treated as polio victioms in the 1950's.
