Kids getting the shot now will actually (through going to relieve themselves) be putting the new 'good' virus into the sewer therefore overpowering the bad strain.<br />His main point was that we live in a global environment and Israel shouldn't be known as being the originator of reintroducing a polio outbreak. Even though we are already protected, we need to prevent ourselves from becoming carriers for those who are not protected.Joshnoreply@blogger.com
