I'm not sure why you've been downvoted for this–maybe a little skittishness after years of anti-vax nonsense—but my understanding is also that you're completely correct and the vast majority of polio infections are vaccine-derived. The oral polio vaccine is (I think?) the only widely-used vaccine where this is a risk, and it's well-known.

A tangent, but isn't this a problem? We should welcome skepticism, if we can easily refute it: no problem.

Refute or Affirm with further research, not a PR campaign.
