so ive heard rhe theory that polio was actually caused by arsenic pesticides and ddt. and ive read that the only places that still have wild polio are Pakistan and Afghanistan. Is there a pesticide or something still in use there which would cause polio? This pesticide theory was for the USA so can it be traced worldwide as well?

Thanks, i listened. It did elucidate one part of that theory I did get from reading shorter articles about it which was the idea that the pesticides were what made the nervous system permeable to the virus, so the virus is still involved. So the theory is it's a combination of the virus and anything that could have a similar effect as pesticides, not necessarily limited to pesticids.
And it did mention that the author thought polio probably would have "burned itself out" by now were it not for the vaccines. if it answered anything about wild polio in Pakistan and Afghanistan or the relationship between ddt etc. bans per country and how that tracks with polio i didn't catch it, since it still seemed focused on USA.
