Children are not taught that polio vaccines cause paralysis and that the official rates of polio dropped largely because government officials altered the definition of "polio" to create the illusion that the vaccines were working better than they actually were. Nor are children taught that even the CDC openly admitted that 98 million Americans were injected with cancer viruses found to have contaminated polio vaccines. The CDC was so alarmed that people remembered this, they scrubbed the entire history of the event from their website.
