The polio case discovered in Rockland County last month remains the only confirmed case of the virus despite polio being found in wastewater for months, the CDC said, 1010 WINS reports.

On July 21, health officials in New York announced the virus was confirmed in an unvaccinated man in his 20s. The man presented with typical polio symptoms, including partial paralysis, and follow-up testing found it was indeed polio. Shortly after, officials said wastewater samples from Rockland and Orange counties showed traces of the virus as far back as April. Last week, New York also said the virus was in the wastewater.

The CDC now says that the case was only the second confirmed community transmission of polio in the country since 1979 and the first of vaccine-derived polio virus type 2 (VPDV2). It remains unclear where the man got the virus, though the CDC said there seems to be some indication of where it started.

  1. No no no. We must continue to spread panic and fear! We must close all Shuls and Yeshivos. We must vaccinate, social distance, and wear disposable masks 24/7, even in the mikvah. Divide and conquer.

  2. Polio was DUMPED in wastewater PURPOSELY, just like they PURPOSELY add DDT pesticide in the children’s vaccine.

  3. “The polio case discovered in Rockland County last month remains the only confirmed case of the virus despite polio being found in wastewater for months, the CDC said.”
    “Okay, so now you know I’m not trying harm you,” the Polio Virus said in a statement on Wednesday. “So you could have pulled me out of the wastewater a long time ago, instead of leaving me soaked in cold water for months on end!”
    The Polio Virus added: “I nearly caught a terrible cold, and YOU people are worried about a harmless, affable virus like me! Go figure!”
