An experiment oral vaccine developed by the Bill Gates and Melinda Gates’ Foundation has triggered a polio outbreak in Burundi which is paralyzing children, according to local reports.
Health officials in Burundi have reported that seven children have been paralyzed by the virus so far.

Burundi has now declared a national emergency after confirming the first cases of polio in the country for three decades, the World Health Organization (WHO) admitted in a statement.
Samples have also been discovered during the environmental surveillance of wastewater, raising the risk of a major outbreak in the country.
The children were paralyzed by vaccine-derived polio linked to the new nOPV2 polio vaccine, according to health officials in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Burundi and the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI)
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, a GPEI partner, funded the development and clinical trials for the nOPV2 vaccine.
Slay reports: Burundi health authorities also plan to work with the WHO and GPEI to do risk assessments to determine the extent of the outbreak of the vaccine-derived virus.
And they are increasing polio surveillance, with WHO employees collecting additional water samples and possibly opening new environmental surveillance sites.
“We are disappointed,” said Dr. Ananda Bandyopadhyay, deputy director for technology, research, and analytics on the Gates Foundation polio team. “Any such outbreak is disappointing,” he said, according to a Stat News report.
Vaccine-derived polio outbreaks are not a surprise with the nOPV2 vaccine, GPEI said.
“While detection of these outbreaks is a tragedy for the families and communities affected, it is not unexpected with wider use of the vaccine,” it said on its website.
The oral vaccines, administered in much of Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia, contain a live-but-weakened form of the polio virus modified to minimize its ability to paralyze.
Children vaccinated with the live oral vaccines shed the virus in their stool, which eventually ends up in sewage wastewater.
Particularly in places where sanitation is poor, the virus can move from child to child, which, GPEI said, is actually the point.
The viruses can move from person to person and “actually help protect the community” it says on its website.
However, as it continues to circulate over the course of 12 to 18 months, the attenuated virus in the live oral vaccine strains can revert to virulence, circulate, infect, and paralyze “in places with low immunization rates.”
These viruses are called circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus, or cVDPV.
Afghanistan and Pakistan now report more cases of paralysis from vaccine-derived polio than from the wild virus.
There have been several outbreaks of vaccine-derived infections across Africa. According to a study in the BMJ, there were more than 1,000 children paralyzed in 2020 alone.
In 2022, 800 children developed paralytic polio from the vaccines.
Despite the fact that the polio vaccine was the root cause of the outbreak, the Burundi government is planning to launch a vaccination campaign within the next few weeks.
Health officials insist that it will still go ahead in an effort to safeguard all children under the age of seven.
“We are supporting the national efforts to ramp up polio vaccination to ensure no child is missed and faces polio’s debilitating impact,” said Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, WHO’s Africa director.
Polio is a highly infectious disease mostly spread through water and typically strikes children under five, according to ABC.
There is no treatment.
Last year, cases linked to the oral vaccine turned up in rich countries including Britain, Israel, and the U.S. for the first time in years.
Officials began rolling out a new oral polio vaccine last year that they hoped would be less likely to mutate into a version able to trigger new outbreaks.
But the epidemic in Burundi — in addition to six cases in Congo — was found to have been sparked by the new oral vaccine.
Across Africa, more than 400 cases of polio last year were linked to the oral vaccine, including Congo, Nigeria, Ethiopia, and Zambia.
The disease also remains stubbornly entrenched in Pakistan and Afghanistan, where transmission has never been stopped.
Ironically, Africa is now free from “wild” polio.
The only cases of the virus are vaccine-induced.

Jesus has a special place for Bill Gates. I just don’t know what Jesus is waiting for. It i not for me to understand what the wait is all about, but I do know the end game, and that delights me to no end.
Since when is old J-Man the Grim Reaper?
I’m pretty sure that you need the four riders of the A. to get rid of Gates.
naw just one well placed round center mass obliterating the heart (thumping gizzard) and blowing out his spine(if he has one) will end it nicely
An Australian nurse swept under the carpet now showed how polio was NO THREAT to anyone EXCRPT for the TREATMENT they were given for it by the health authorities When treated her way there was no problem and full recovery.
We were taught her story in school and Hollywood made a movie out of her. But time has erased her legacy and the lies are maintained Like everything.
well what was this nurses name
anonymous?
what her name is anonymous? i think you are just a sh it stirrer get back under your rock
bill gates needs a rope and a short fall post haste then his body fed to dogs as the earth would vomit this mass murde rer up
Gates Needs To Be Shot On Sight.

Time for Gates to be at the front of the line at the gallows for crimes against humanity!
Why is this mass murdering fascist p1g still walking free???
Bc they are protected by evil itself!!
That’s what I want to know too. Are all these countries victimized by Bill Gates really that stupid? It’s amazing that he maims, sterilizes and kills in the third world (over and over and over again), and no one has stepped up to the plate. Is he paying off these third world rulers to experiment on their citizens?
I’d like to see him get what he so richly deserves — life without parole in some third world shithole prison — or — the death penalty.
