We'll probably never know. A SARS-CoV-2 infection is more likely to kill than a poliovirus infection is likely to paralyze or kill, and overall SARS-CoV-2 is nastier. 98% of people infected with poliovirus don't show bad enough symptoms to be diagnosed with poliovirus infection. (I say poliovirus infection because polio refers to the paralysis)

Oh man... this could very easily fuel so much more anti-vax paranoia. Anti-vaxxers are likely to overlook (accidentally or on purpose) that the US does nor use live virus vaccines for polio. Most likely, all they'll hear is "Vaccine-derived strain of the virus" and start screaming that this is proof all vaccines are bad.

They are also rolling out a new Type 2 novel oral polio vaccine for use in countries where circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV) is still an issue. While it still uses a weakened virus, it is designed to be resistant to genetic change which is how we end up with cVDPV.

Anti-vaxxers can create as many conspiracy theories as they want, but it does not change the hard data of cases from the 1950s to now. From hundreds of thousands (including thousands in the US) to 5 wild poliovirus and 688 cVDPV cases in 2021, the data shows that vaccines work. Of course, the anti-vaxxers will ignore this.

My understanding is that vaccine derived strains of poliomyelitis is contracted through contact with faeces of persons who have been vaccinated with live vaccone and that vaccine had mutated in the body.

So why wouldn't the anti-vaccine ijits be anti-shit-eating ijits instead.

Well, being against shit-eating is logical and rational for any number of reasons, and the anti-vaxxers are pretty much anti -logic and -reason in most cases, so they'd probably be touting shit-eating as the best way to avoid poliovirus.

They already drink urine for covid so shit eating is just a short hop from there.

That's it. "Implants" didn't seem quite right, but I couldn't come up with the word that seemed right.

And I wasn't going to google.

I can tell most of you have never lived on a farm.

Baby animals eat feces in order to get the correct bacterial fauna in their guts.

Without the proper intestinal fauna, animals can't digest things properly.

If you give large animals (including humans) antibiotics, the antibiotics wipe out all the 'bios'. Veterinarians routinely perform transfaunation, because otherwise the animal will have constant diarrhea and will become dehydrated as a result, thus causing a cascade of bodily function failure and possibly resulting in the death of the animal.

Ya, my "grown up on a farm" self never saw anything horrific in Feces transfer. It always sounded very practical to me.

OK, this needs a little unpacking.

First, eating shit is not the same as gut biota transplant anymore than sticking a knife into the ribs is the same as open heart surgery.

Second, the new polio patient has apparently not been out of the country, which means he/she has not been playing in the local sewage pond in Mombasa.

This leaves the possibility that some Nigerian Alt-witchdoctor is selling miracle gut-biota cures over the internet.

I suspect that there may be a few other possibilities, but they are probabily more scientific than my suggestion, and you know better than to trust science.

Had the US citizen who contracted polio been immunised using the US approved vaccine - then he almost certainly would not have contracted it.

Which is why Anti-vaxxers are so dangerous.

Literally.

Foals will eat mom's manure in order to get the proper fauna in their gut. This tends to freak people out when they see it for the first time.

Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT), also known as a stool transplant,[1] is the process of transferring fecal bacteria and other microbes from a healthy individual into another individual. FMT is an effective treatment for Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI).[2][3] For recurrent CDI, FMT is more effective than vancomycin.[2][4]

Side effects may include a risk of infections, therefore the donor should be screened.[5] FMT involves restoration of the colonic microflora by introducing healthy bacterial flora through infusion of stool via colonoscopy, enema, orogastric tube, or by mouth in the form of a capsule containing feces from a healthy donor, which in some cases is freeze-dried.
