Oh, well that's OK then, US does not have it any more so no need to worry. 
Too bad about the epidemic in Africa and Pakistan.
However, with so much international travel it is only matter of time before some of these terrible diseases make reappearance in one of those areas in the USA where vaccination levels are very low.
I believe that there were handful of cases of kids who were given faulty vaccine who developed polio, but as far as I know none died and the worst affected walked with slight limp. Has any of the kids who got this bad vaccine ended in iron lungs? I do not think so.

Of course though Super Nova, no one EVER dies from vaccine side effects.....
There have been no studies to date conducted on individual vaccine ingredients, the safety of injecting the FDA limit of aluminum for adults into an infant, or vaccine bundles. Nothing. Yet everyone is so sure that this new super invasive schedule is safe. Yet they have nothing to back up these claims...
'After Will died I wrote a piece for Pulse, the GP magazine, to raise awareness of how serious chickenpox can be and got inundated by people who had their own horror stories,' she says.

A senior German health official has called for mandatory measles vaccinations after an 18-month-old boy died of the disease amid the countryโs worst outbreak in more than a decade.

These are usually serious conditions and include ear infections, pneumonia, fits or convulsions, croup, inflammation of the brain (encephalitis), which could result in hospitalisation. A late complication of measles is subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), which causes progressive brain damage and nearly always results in death.
The table below compares the potential problems caused by measles with the potential problems caused by the MMR vaccine.
Green - Common, usually mild symptoms that can be treated at home.
Yellow - Moderate complications that need medical attention but may not include hospitalisation.
Red - Serious complications that need urgent medical attention and could include hospitalisation.
Potential risks in a group of 100
Most children will have the common and usually mild (in green)symptoms of measles e.g. fever, cough, runny nose, red, painful eyes, rash. Some may have more than one of these symptoms at the same time. | Potential risks in a group of 100
Most will have common and usually mild (in green) symptoms of the MMR vaccine e.g. pain or swelling at the injection site, joint pain and stiffness. Some may have more than one of these symptoms at the same time.
