Oral polio vaccine can give your kid a slight chance of getting polio

Sharyl Attkisson: "That when my daughter got polio vaccine, before I covered any of these stories, I was asked at the doctor's office, does your daughter want sugar, water, or a shot? Choice, or a polio vaccine, or the injection. I said sugar, water, because why would you want your kid to have a shot if they can have sugar, water? I only learned through covering these stories that sugar, water the oral vaccine can give your kid a slight chance of getting polio, where the injectable version carries no chance. That's what I should have been told. I would never have given her something when there was a choice that could possibly give her polio. And all the last cases of polio in this country were caused by the vaccine. When I tell that to people, which has now been pulled from the market, the oral version in the United States, but that's a story that makes sense to people they can hang onto and go: How can that be? I wasn't told that information either, you know, at the doctors."
