oh no, it's an oral 'vaccine' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polio_vaccine).they don't do that so much now, but this has been trying to be settled for the past 30 years.
and yes, they do still vaccinate for polio. the bacteria are still hanging around out there (and there are some people who can't be vaccinated - people with certain allergies, people that have had bad reactions to previous vaccines, people with compromised immune systems) so the more people that get vaccines. the less likely it is for these people to be exposed to those illnesses. does that make sense? this is why i get so utterly pissed at idiots that don't vaccinate their kids because of some lies they've heard on oprah by that goddamn playboy bunny bitch who thinks that having an autistic kid makes her a health care expert ... sorry about that. i got rant on you.
