In 2020 there were 102 wild cases, and 295 vaccine derived cases. You have to go back to 2016 for wild cases to outnumber vaccine cases.
He's getting downvoted for the tone: People are assuming he is discrediting the vaccine by saying that. I personally don't see that implication, I just see a bare, and correct, fact.
- gus_massa 6y agoShort version of the data: wild vaccine-derived 2015: 74 32 2016: 37 5 2017: 22 96 2018: 33 104 2019: 165 365 2020: 102 291 >>> more children had been getting polio from polio vaccines than getting it in the wild for a long time I think that it is misleading to call the last four years "a long time".
