“I see vaccinations as the problem,” Rabbi Shmuel Kamenetzky told the Baltimore Jewish Times in a story published in late August. “It’s a hoax. Even the Salk [polio] vaccine is a hoax. It’s just big business.” |

Polio Paul Alexander's cause of death after surviving 70 years inside 'iron lung'
After he was paralyzed by polio at age 6, Paul Alexander was confined for much of his life to a yellow iron lung that kept him alive. He was not expected to survive after that diagnosis, and even when he beat those odds, his life was mostly constrained by a machine in which he could not move.
But the toll of living in an iron lung with polio did not stop Mr. Alexander from going to college, getting a law degree and practicing law for more than 30 years. As a boy, he taught himself to breathe for minutes and later hours at a time, but he had to use the machine every day of his life.
He died on Monday at 78, according to a statement by his brother, Philip Alexander, on social media.
He was one of the last few people in the United States living inside an iron lung, which works by rhythmically changing air pressure in the chamber to force air in and out of the lungs. And in the final weeks of his life, he drew a following on TikTok by sharing what it had been like to live so long with the help of an antiquated machine.
Paul Alexander passed away aged 78 this week 'Polio Paul', who spent more than seven decades living in an 'iron lung', has died at the age of 78 – and his cause of death has been revealed.
Paul Alexander sadly passed away on Monday (March 11). He spent most of his life paralysed inside an iron lung after he was struck down by polio in Dallas, Texas, in 1952.
Reports have now suggested Mr Alexander caught Covid, which ultimately led to his death.
Mr Alexander has lived in an iron lung for more than 70 years Alexander contracted polio in 1952. As a result he could only move his head, neck and mouth for most of his life, a side effect seen in about one in 200 cases of the disease. Doctors then put him in the contraption that kept him alive for 70 years, reports The Mirror.
His death was announced on his GoFundMe page on Tuesday. The post read: "Paul Alexander, 'The Man in the Iron Lung', passed away yesterday. After surviving polio as a child, he lived over 70 years inside of an iron lung."
Last month Mr Alexander's social media manager took to TikTok to inform fans Paul had tested positive for the contagious disease. He said: "I know there has been a lot of questions and comments about where have the videos been, is Paul OK.
Mr Alexander reportedly contracted Covid which ultimately caused his death "Last week he was unfortunately rushed to the emergency room in the hospital, he tested positive for Covid, which is really, really dangerous for somebody with his condition. Fortunately they have an iron lung at the hospital just for him, and he was able to come home this weekend. But unfortunately he's still kind of weak, he's still got some confusion going around, he's still struggling to eat and hydrate."
Despite Mr Alexander's difficult start in life he went on to become a lawyer and author, and his story inspired people around the world. The GoFundMe page continued: "In this time Paul went to college, became a lawyer, and a published author. His story travelled wide and far, positively influencing people around the world.
