Not likely. Your stomach acid probably destroys what's left of the virus before it enters the bloodstream, meaning there's nothing for your immune system to train against. There's a reason we don't drink vaccines.
Got it, so we have to inject the milk.
Hang on, I've been injecting bleach on Trump's recommendation. Do I need to switch to milk or add it to my usual system cleaning routine?
Obviously the bleach destroys the virus, you have to alternate treatment: one week bleach, one week virus.
(please don't)
When do we remove the light bulb from our ass?
I think the most commonly used polio vaccine is administered orally
It was partially live, which was why they stopped using it in developed countries; the risk of developing polio after taking it is small but not nonexistent.
I thought the risk of developing polio wasn't to the person receiving the vaccine, but to other, unvaccinated people in an area with poor sanitation.
That’s also a concern, but about 1 in 2 million people who get the oral vaccine become paralyzed from it. It being a live vaccine instead of a an inactive one means there’s going to be those risks.
Thanks. I really appreciate the response, especially with the reference!
It is more common than you think. Unfortunately, a large part of global public health policy focuses on sacrificing the safety of the poor in order to protect the rich. So, we will continue to use the cheaper oral vaccines that paralyze children instead of developing the infrastructure to administer attenuated vaccines that we know are safe.

So are Cholera vaccines
There are some oral vaccines. The polio vaccine had an oral version that was widely used.
I didn't actually realize that, but I would still argue they're not very common for a reason.
