Greg, the website, polioeradication.org says that 90% of people infected have either no symptoms or relatively mild ones that don't result in paralysis. Your high school classmate may eventually suffer from 'post-polio syndrome' like Gail Gleason. The website says that 40% of paralytic patients may suffer additional symptoms 15 to 40 years after the original onset of polio.

Author: Boyd Percy [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 22:21:14 08/10/15 Mon I noticed the following on the NPR website. I was amazed that Catholic Bishops of Kenya were suggesting a boycott of the polio vaccine. http://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2015/08/09/430347033/catholic-bishops-in-kenya-call-for-a-boycott-of-polio-vaccines

Those Bishops are probably going to get a talking to. The current Pope has the equivalent of a 2 year degree in chemistry and seems to be solid on the side of evidence.

The costs of meds don't make sense -- period. The last time I was in the hospital the ripoff artists charged my insurance $50 for a bottle of saline. -- Wes

Author: carlton [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 00:48:08 08/16/15 Sun Over half of that $50 is to pay for the people that are needed to fill out the paperwork for insurance and medicaid claims per my dr. He said he would about be better off to stop taking any insurance and just charging about $25 to $30 per vist.
