It seems the book implies there is a virus that causes poliomyelitis even if there are other more important causes, however, where is the evidence of a virus responsible for any cases of polio or am I misinterpreting?

Yes, Forrest Maready is great! I remember watching many of his videos, “My Incredible Opinion”, on FascistBook, way back in time before Rep. Schiff the Schitt D-CA, called for censorship in 2019. Are you aware of his new show? It looks like his videos are on the website.

Forrest is the best. My Dad just can't get past the brainwashing about Polio. I've explained it to him so many times and he just keeps saying "what about polio"? Even though he didn't want to get the Covid shot, his wife insisted, and he is awake on so many other issues....He read the Creature of Jekyl Island and is a gold and silver guy. It's very hard to get past some brainwashing after you reach a certain age, possibly. He just turned 90 God Bless him.

Great recommendation and an absolute must read. In the fashion of a detective novel, Maready lays out the whole history of poliomyelitis (inflammation of the grey matter [polio] of the spinal cord) and all its utterly un-scientific superstitious myths and crackpot quack analyses (eg juvenile teething paralysis) and cover ups (by the medical professionals)

“My daughter Josie, who was placed under your care in May and November, 1865, andhas at home followed your directions in wearing more or less apparatus adjusted to her partially paralyzed leg, first manifested to us that her leg was debilitated when about eighteen months of age. She walked when about a year old, then gave up walking. We attributed the fact to debility from teething. When she resumed walking, at about eighteen months of age, the weakness in one leg was discovered.”

The metallic based insecticides (arsenic and then mercury and aluminium) caused paralysis particularly in young toddlers. Young people of that age are teething – therefore ’scientists’ deduced that the paralysis is related to teething. Hence pigs fly. But then they realised they could perpetuate the disease and make money. The so-called ‘vaccine‘ for a non-existent 'virus' had nothing to do with the reduction in 'polio' which had already occurred due to reduction in the use of the toxic insecticides (in particular DDT) at the time, along with basic improved hygiene practices (plumbing and sanitation.

Great book! As are "Crooked" and "Red Pill Gospel." On point with his master storytelling ability. Of note, Forrest just started his own podcast "The Forrest Maready Show" that is live every Saturday evening. Here is a link to his last show: https://www.forrestmaready.com/fmshow-003/?ref=my-incredible-opinion-newsletter

I saw the same thread on Polio and read the book. I was was so struck with it, that I returned to that old thing I used to do with my wife when we were first married. We sat outside with our coffee and I read to her. I have thanked Forrest Maready for opening up this history for us, and evangelised about his writing to family and friends. Following the revelations in this book, I then read his book "Crooked". Oh my. Forrest Maready is a curious and persistent man. I recommend his work. It will dispossess you of any lingering trust you may have in vaccines in a readable and understandable manner.

I purchased this book during the height of the lockdown in 2020 or early 2021 (in CA- endless lockdown) and recently read it a second time because it's such a fascinating and quick read. I have not read other works of his yet, but this definitely can serve as the best go to book on polio that would work to deconstruct anyone's thinking about the virus story. I had already been familiar with the false HIV/AIDS hypothesis and a good deal of the corrupt science involved with that narrative a few years earlier so I had caught wind of the problems with the smallpox and polio stories as well, but this book gave me a foundation about polio and its history that I was not familiar with.

Thanks for that summary. I own the book, but it's nice to have things like that to share with others.

I knew the basics about polio before reading the book, but it added a lot to my understanding of the issue.

founding

The book, which I read in 2022, was an eye opener for me, leading eventually to discoveries about my own lifelong health issues. I had limited confidence in his conclusions, but I found other corroborating evidence elsewhere. It doesn't really matter to me whether he got everything exactly right. He very clearly was on to something.

Many of the discoveries I made resulted from subsequently reading his other book, _Smile_, in late 2022. I received a diagnosis of minimal brain damage at 19 or 20 years old, presumably arising from head trauma at birth, but reading this book and walking through the cranial nerves and the symptoms that appear when they are damaged gave me a new way to understand my own life history. I can see that there was more to what happened than my parents had known.

Iron Lung is great. I went in thinking Maraedy would bash the scientists of the day but I think he was respectful that it was a confusing unfolding of events. I think trying to tease out transmission of infection from shared exposure to toxin doesn't lead to clean cut and dry binary answers.

Really, people should read the Autism Vaccine as well. The title almost kept me away as it seemed brash...but in that book he's measured as well showing respect for the initial serious problem of dipteheria scientists and Doctors were earnestly looking for an answer too. From that book I think the diptheria vaccine is the best vaccine to really focus on as its development is where the concept of adjuvants came from and overall its story is so confusing. The vaccine sounds more like an allergy shot, than a vaccine as its more about dealing with toxins released by the germ than fighting the actual germ.

Which really I think more needs to be made of the fact that the lines between toxicology and immunology are blurry with the two having some odd similiarities and differences. Vaccines are trying to tell your body to pay more attention to a germ and fight it with antibodies while vaccine shots try to tell your body to chill out and don't over react. In the meantime can we always tell if we're exposed to an alllergen or figthing an infection. I can't?

Brian Mowrey has done a series of complicated posts about polio and its vaccines, this is just one, but he disagrees with Forrest Maready on this one.
