You can be exposed to it and it starts to invade your body. The antibodies the vaccine created will kill it before it can become symptomatic. Nevertheless - you "had" polio because you were exposed and it invaded your body - but you didn't have a full-blown presentation of the disease, and that's what the vaccination prevents, and that's how immunity works, you're asymptomatic. It also greatly reduces transmission as you don't have enough of it to pass on to someone else -- usually -- Typhoid Mary being a notable example of the rare exception -- an immune carrier. You get bacteria and viruses all the time and never know it because you're asymptomatic with an effective immune system. Eventually - a disease may be considered "extinct" and eradicated if zero cases present for a very long time - such is the case with smallpox with the last recorded US case in 1949 and the last one globally in 1980. Some diseases may be continuously present in you such as chicken pox - if you had it as a child- that can emerge much later as shingles if your immune system falters.I thought the Polio vaccine PREVENTED you from getting polio?
IIRC it happened here in Indiana several years ago too, didn't it?
They're miracle workers! They left Texas with a case of Miller Lite and arrived with six cases of Corona.Looks like number six was just confirmed. Their vacation isn't going as planned.
Nancy Mace needs to be part of the next administration...
Was that one of those Southern "well bless your heart" moments?Nail meet hammer. She buttered her up and made her feel all comfy then let her have it. Nice.

Are you kidding me?
WTF?
They think stuff like this is morally positive because of Merrick Garland and stuff like that.Theses Dem runaways are nothing but a big worthless AWOL PITA. I don't get why some people vote those grandstanding, freeloading attention seekers into office.
I thought I read that a judge overturned those arrests?
