Yes, pay attention to mention of “shedding”. They think that vaccination causes the PT in question to shuck it off as though they were Pigpen from Charlie Brown cartoon.
Basically polio spreads through poop, and this is your shedding. Oral Polio Vaccine does this as it’s a weakened form of the polio virus and exhibits the same spread and provides vaccination indirectly to others. The US uses E-IPV, which is inactive and harmless and doesn’t have this spread.
You’ll only find OPV being used in countries with very inadequate medical access as it can be administered orally(hence the name). Only downside is that if you are very immunocompromised, there is a non zero chance you get polio and a chance you suffer from paralysis.
Flu vaccines, covid vaccine, literally anything else doesn’t have this “shedding”. It’s literally one vaccine that isn’t even administered in the united states.
I wish people understood the differences between types of vaccines more. I despise the “vaccines good” Vs “vaccines bad” thinking. Each of them are separate treatments and like any medication have pros/cons for each individual recieving them. I think a lot of people learn about Jenner and the smallpox vaccine and assume all other vaccines work the same way.
Vaccines can shed (sometimes we have to add that as an seondqry endpoint to clinical trials), but not even remotely in the way these idiots are saying.
Shedders? Do these people think vaccines are contagious?

they should wear a mask, so they don’t catch it
preferably a solid one
It’s not even applicable to most vaccines.

Yes.
Well, the grifters don’t. The multitude of morons they’re scamming do.
Stupid as it sounds, yes

Were you assuming these people understood even the basics of what a vaccine is?
