Republicans are soft on disease control. We all remember the MAGA anti-vaccine hysteria when the COVID-19 vaccines became available.
They are now turning their attention to the polio vaccine which was approved for use in the US on 12 April 1955. The number of polio cases in the US dropped from 57,879 in 1952 to 910 in 1962 and became rare by the early 1970s.
Thanks to anti-vaxxing conspiracy crackpots, polio returned to the US for the first time in three decades in 2022.
New Hampshire Republicans want to weaken vaccination requirements to kowtow to anti-science elements in their state.
New Hampshire could soon beat Florida—known for its anti-vaccine Surgeon General—when it comes to loosening vaccine requirements. A first-in-the-nation bill that’s already passed New Hampshire’s state House, sponsored only by Republican legislators, would end the requirement for parents enrolling kids in childcare to provide documentation of polio and measles vaccination. New Hampshire would be the only state in the US to have such a law, although many states allow religious exemptions to vaccine requirements.  Currently, Republicans control New Hampshire’s state House, Senate and governor’s office—but that isn’t a guarantee that the bill will be signed into law, with GOP Gov. Chris Sununu seemingly flip-flopping when it comes to disease control. Sununu did sign a bill in 2021 allowing people to use public places and services even if they did not receive the Covid-19 vaccine. But the next year, the governor vetoed a bill that would bar schools from implementing mask mandates.  The polio vaccine, first offered in 1955, and the MMR shot, which treats the highly infectious measles, mumps, and rubella viruses, are two very crucial vaccines both in the US and internationally. Since the year 2000 alone, vaccines against measles are estimated to have saved over 55 million lives around the world.  [ ... ] Vaccine hesitancy is rising among parents of young children. A 2023 survey from the Pew Research Center found that around half of parents with kids four or younger thought that not all standard childhood vaccines—a list that also includes hepatitis B, rotavirus, DTaP and chickenpox—may be necessary. Anti-vaccine misinformation plays a role in this phenomenon, which began before the Covid-19 pandemic, but has certainly increased since. In a 2019 UK report, about 50 percent of parents of young kids encountered false information about vaccines on social media. 
Gov. Chris Sununu is a spineless putz. In some ways he's like Lindsey Graham who likes to send smoke signals of independent thinking but always comes crawling home to Daddy Donald.
Sununu campaigned for Nikki Haley and blamed Trump for January 6th. But that hasn't stopped him from endorsing Trump anyway. Instigating a coup d'état does not disqualify somebody from the presidency in Sununu's opinion.
GOP's Chris Sununu tries, fails to defend his Trump endorsement
Sununu may do for polio in New Hampshire what Trump did for COVID in the entire US in 2020.

Brazil: Low vaccination rates after 34 polio-free years are concerning
The disease leads to paralysis of the lower limbs
Tumblr media
Polio vaccination rates in Brazil have been falling since 2016, the last time the country surpassed 90 percent vaccination coverage of the target audience. The goal of the National Immunization Program (PNI) is to vaccinate between 90 and 95 percent of children under 5 years old.
However, protection levels have never been so low in Brazil. In 2022, vaccination rates stood at a mere 72 percent, and the preceding year saw an even lower figure of just under 71 percent, as reported by the Ministry of Health. These numbers raise concerns as Brazil recorded its last polio case 34 years ago in 1989. While the disease remains present in other countries, the risk of its resurgence in Brazil is worrisome, potentially leading to the re-circulation of the virus.

“ The scope of her work, Reed told me, encompassed a range of infectious diseases that threaten gorilla health, of which Ebola is only the most exotic. The others were largely human diseases of more conventional flavor, to which gorillas are susceptible because of their close genetic similarity to us: TB, poliomyelitis, measles, pneumonia, chickenpox, et cetera. Gorillas can be exposed to such infections wherever unhealthy people are walking, coughing, sneezing, and crapping in the forest. Any such spillover in the reverse direction—from humans to a nonhuman species—is known as an anthroponosis. The famous mountain gorillas, for instance, have been threatened by anthroponotic infections such as measles, carried by ecotourists who come to dote upon them. (Mountain gorillas constitute a severely endangered subspecies of the eastern gorilla, confined to the steep hillsides of the Virunga Volcanoes in Rwanda and neighboring lands. The western gorilla of Central African forests, a purely lowland species, is more numerous but far from secure.) Combined with destruction of their habitat by logging operations, and the hunting of them for bushmeat to be consumed locally or sold into markets, infectious diseases could push western gorillas from their current levels of relative abundance (maybe a hundred thousand in total) to a situation in which small, isolated populations survive tenuously, like the mountain gorillas, or go locally extinct. But the forests of Central Africa are still relatively vast, compared to the small Virunga hillsides that harbor mountain gorillas; and the western gorilla doesn’t face many ecotourists in its uncomfortable, nearly impenetrable home terrain. So measles and TB aren’t the worst of its problems. “I would say that, without a doubt, Ebola is the biggest threat” to the western species, Reed said. What makes Ebola virus among gorillas so difficult, she explained, is not just its ferocity but also the lack of data. “We don’t know if it was here before. We don’t know if they survive it. But we need to know how it passes through groups. We need to know where it is.” And the question of where has two dimensions. How broadly is Ebola virus distributed across Central Africa? Within what reservoir species does it lurk? “

Did you know that the poliovirus vaccine created immunity pools? Which is cool because the epidemic happened right after the depression, making it easier to build immunity for households that could only afford one vaccine .
The immunity pool means that if one person was vaccinated (because polio is shred though poo) when the person shred the virus that weakened version to spread to the whole household causing inadvertent immunity.

34/2023: Celine Fariala Mangaza, 27. August 1967
Mit Spätfolgen einer Polioerkrankung half sie in ihrer Nähwerkstatt anderen Frauen mit Behinderung.
Als Celine Fariala Mangaza 1967 in Bukavu zur Welt kam, war ihr Heimatland die ‘Republik Kongo’ unter der Diktatur Mobutus (der im immerhin im Mai des gleichen Jahres das Wahlrecht für alle – faktisch das Frauenwahlrecht – eingeführt hatte). In ihrem dritten Lebensjahr erkrankte sie an Poliomyelitis, was zu Lähmungen führte; trotz ihrer körperlichen Einschränkungen und obwohl es für Mädchen in…
