Good Lord, I just heard about this today. Terrifying.
My instinct is to blame the anti vaxxer for things like this but I in fairness can’t. Even if it was confirmed as Polio (it’s not Polio according to CDC) i don’t think the west has been actively vaccinating children for polio in years, have they?
Whatever it is, once there is a vaccine, I’m sure they won’t get it anyway so I might yet get my chance to soap box on that.

Last week, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control reported a small surge in cases of a mysterious disease in children. More than 60 cases of the polio-like illness have been confirmed in 22 U.S. states in recent weeks. Now, doctors in Toronto say they're seeing cases appear in Canada.
