| '''Natural immunity'''. The ability to resist infection that does not depend on prior experience of the invading organism and the resultant production of antibodies or amendment or selection of LYMPHOCYTES. Natural immunity is a general and non-specific resistance to infection possessed by all healthy individuals.
| |
|
| |
| If you get a disease, like measles or rubella, you typically have life-long immunity and won’t get it again. You are also stimulating your immune system to protect against the next infection.

| '''Definition of Immunity'''
| |
|
| |
| '''Immunity'''; 1. Protection against infectious disease by either specific or non-specific mechanisms. 2. Pertaining to the immune system or immune response [Ingelfinger, F. Dorland’s Medical Dictionary Saunders Press, 1999.]
| |
|
| |
| '''Innate immunity'''
| |
|
| |
| ''Innate immunity'' is the resistance manifested by a species (or by races, families, and individuals in a species) that has not been immunized (sensitized, allergized) by previous infection or vaccination; much of it results from body mechanisms that are poorly understood but differ from those responsible for the altered reactivity associated with the specific nature of acquired immunity; in general, innate immunity is nonspecific and is not stimulated by specific antigens.

Children who are exposed to it at a very early age rarely suffer permanent damage and acquire immunity” (p. 800)" <Ref>Spalding JMK. Swash M, Oxbury J.

| * “Polioviruses are transient inhabitants of the gastrointestinal tract. '''Up to 95% of all polio infections are completely asymptomatic'''. Approximately 5% of polio infections consist of a minor, nonspecific illness consisting of an upper respiratory tract infection (sore throat and fever) and gastrointestinal disturbances (nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea). This influenza-like illness, clinically indistinguishable from the myriad of other viral illnesses, is characterized by complete recovery in less than a week with resultant life time immunity. Less than 1% of all polio infections result in paralysis. '''Most importantly''', the vast majority of individuals who contract paralytic poliomyelitis recover with complete—or near complete—return of muscle function. Any weakness that is still present 12 months after onset of paralysis is usually considered permanent.“<Ref>Stated in a paper written by Dr. Sheri Tenpenny [https://www.collective-evolution.com/2012/02/18/the-polio-vaccine-myth-the-vaccine-stopped-polio/ The Polio Vaccine Myth: “The Vaccine Stopped Polio”]Published February 18, 2012 By Joe Martino</Ref>

| :: "In 1977, Dr Jonas Salk, who developed the first polio vaccine, testified along with other scientists that mass inoculation against polio was the cause of most polio cases throughout the USA since 1961. (Science 4/4/77 “Abstracts” )"
| |
| :: "The above statement states the truth of the vaccine in a nutshell. The Polio vaccine only increased the amount of cases of Polio when it was introduced and it had no part in actually creating a decline in the disease. The decline was happening naturally and the vaccine was introduced on a down turn of Polio cases. While the introduction of the vaccine created a spike in cases, overall the disease continued to decline. Especially in countries that did not introduce the vaccine. This is strong evidence showing that the Polio vaccine is not responsible for the decline and should negate the belief and statement that the Polio vaccine demonstrates vaccine success." <ref name=Myth> [https://www.collective-evolution.com/2012/02/18/the-polio-vaccine-myth-the-vaccine-stopped-polio/ The Polio Vaccine Myth: “The Vaccine Stopped Polio”]Published February 18, 2012 By Joe Martino</Ref>

| :: "Six New England states reported increases in polio one year after the Salk vaccine was introduced, ranging from more than doubling in Vermont to Massachusetts’ astounding increase of 642%; other states reported increases as well. The incidence in Wisconsin increased by a factor of five. Idaho and Utah actually halted vaccination due to the increased incidence and death rate. In 1959, 77.5% of Massachusetts’ paralytic cases had received 3 doses of IPV (injected polio vaccine). During 1962 U.S. Congressional hearings, Dr. Bernard Greenberg, head of the Dept. of Biostatistics for the University of North Carolina School of Public Health, testified that not only did the cases of polio increase substantially after mandatory vaccinations—a 50% increase from 1957 to 1958, and an 80% increase from 1958 to 1959—but that the statistics were deliberately manipulated by the Public Health Service to give the opposite impression.(<Ref> Hearings before the Committee on Interstate and Foreign Commerce, House of Representatives, 87th Congress, Second Session on H.R. 10541, May 1962, at 94.</Ref>) It is important to understand that the polio vaccine was not universally accepted, at least initially. Despite this, polio declined both in European countries that refused mass vaccination as well as in those that employed it." <ref name=Myth></Ref>

| * "At present, as a result of the WHO initiative, the wild virus is now confined to a few countries, but naturally acquired immunity has been lost, and the whole of the developing world is now vulnerable to epidemics of poliomyelitis, which could lead to severe paralysis and increased mortality.

| * "The route by which an antigen is administered frequently determines the type and duration of antibody response. For example, intramuscular injection of inactivated poliomyelitis virus (Salk vaccine) generates less production of serum antibody and induces only a temporary systemic immunity; it may not produce substantial local gastrointestinal immunity and, therefore, may not prevent the carrying of the virus in the gastrointestinal tract." <Ref>[https://www.britannica.com/science/infectious-disease/Natural-and-acquired-immunity Natural and acquired immunity]</Ref>

| * "Finally, the agent in the vaccine should be [[Polio_Vaccine_and_Cancer|free of contaminating substances]]. It is also recognized, however, that vaccine transmissibility can be helpful—e.g., in the case of live polio vaccine, which can be spread from vaccinated children to others who have not been vaccinated." <Ref>[https://www.britannica.com/science/infectious-disease/Natural-and-acquired-immunity Natural and acquired immunity]</Ref>

| * " Because no vaccination is 100% effective, some vaccinated individuals will get the disease as well. In fact, during an outbreak, the number of vaccinated individuals who get sick will often outnumber the unvaccinated people who get sick."<Ref>https://www.historyofvaccines.org/content/articles/misconceptions-about-vaccines </Ref>
