Trump, Make Polio Great Again...

 

Franklin D. Roosevelt and the polio

 

Franklin D. Roosevelt was the 32nd President of the United States. Not only did he serve an unprecedented four terms in office, but he was also the first president with a significant physical disability. FDR was diagnosed with infantile paralysis, better known as polio, in 1921, at the age of 39. Although dealing with this crippling disease was difficult, many believe that his personal struggles helped shape FDR, both as a man and as a president.

Coming from a wealthy family, FDR was privileged to enjoy his summers at the Campobello Island family cottage that was purchased by his parents in New Brunswick, Canada. It was at this site that FDR manifested the symptoms of “the insidious and deadly enemy” known as infantile paralysis. No one is certain of the circumstances leading to his contraction of polio, many believe he was exposed to the virus at a Boy Scout camp in New York just prior to going to Campobello.

President-elect Donald Trump has praised the polio vaccine as the “greatest thing,” but a lawyer affiliated with Trump’s pick to lead the country’s top health agency has petitioned the US Food and Drug Administration to revoke approval of the vaccine used in the United States.

The lawyer, Aaron Siri, filed the petition in 2022 on behalf of the Informed Consent Action Network, or ICAN, a nonprofit that challenges the safety of vaccines and vaccine mandates. Siri has been working closely with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – a vaccine skeptic and Trump’s pick to lead the US Department of Health and Human Services – to choose officials to serve in the incoming administration. He was also Kennedy’s personal lawyer during his own presidential campaign.

“The FDA is continuing to review the petition,” an agency spokesperson said in an email to CNN on Friday. “We cannot predict when the reviews will be completed. The FDA will consider the concerns outlined in the petition as a final decision is made. The FDA will respond directly to the petitioner, and that response will be posted on the docket. Until such time, we cannot comment further.”

A study exposes the shock rate of 'extreme' inbreeding in the UK

 

The pocket of England where up to 46% of women of Pakistani heritage are having children with their cousins - as study exposes the shock rate of 'extreme' inbreeding in the UK.

Cousin relationships are no longer a 'majority' in Bradford's female Pakistani community amid rising awareness of the birth defect risks.

A decade ago, a Government-funded surveillance project found that 62 per cent of Pakistani heritage women were in consanguineous relationships.  

This figure has since dropped to 46 per cent, researchers say. t comes amid a push to ban first-cousins from marrying.  Independent MP Iqbal Mohamed drew huge flak yesterday after speaking against the motion. A senior Tory said it was 'shocking' that an MP would 'defend this revolting practice'.

Experts began tracking the prevalence of consanguinity in Bradford – home to one of the UK's biggest Pakistani communities – in the late noughties.  Almost 12,500 pregnant women were quizzed about their relationship status with the father of their child. 

The Born in Bradford study was later repeated with another cohort of 2,400 women between 2016 and 2019.

Final results were published last month by Wellcome Open Research, a platform ran by the prestigious Wellcome Trust.  Sharing an earlier version of the results with the BBC last year, Dr John Wright, chief investigator, spoke of the 'significant shift' seen in just under a decade.

He described cousin marriage as having gone from a 'majority activity to now being just about a minority activity'. Dr Wright added: 'The effect will be fewer children with congenital anomalies.'

The Born in Bradford figures, it was said, may indicate that the numbers of Pakistani people marrying cousins across the UK as a whole is also falling.

Reasons behind the fall are thought to include high educational attainment, stricter immigration rules and changes in family dynamics. Writing in their study, the team said: 'It may be we are seeing generational changes, and newly evolving societal norms. 

'But these changes need to be monitored to see if they are indications of a lasting change and they need to be considered in other settings where consanguinity is common to see how widespread these reductions in consanguinity are.'

More than half of residents living in the Bradford West constituency, represented by Labour MP Naz Shah, are Pakistani. The figure is 36 per cent in Bradford East and nearly 17 per cent in Bradford South – the city's two other constituencies.
