Taliban stops polio vaccines for 162,000 Pakistani children

[Hollie]

Keep it 7th century for "The Prophet", man.

While it's not for me, I don't see anything wrong with seeking divine purpose in ones life—just not the brutal, hateful jihad/sharia kind. That is not what humanity needs. The idea of contemptible people who brutalize like this and the similarly contemptible people who participate and screech "allahu akbar" is enough to keep one up at night.


Taliban stops polio vaccines for 162,000 Pakistani children in protest at U.S. drone strikes

A Taliban commander has banned polio vaccines for more than 162,000 children in north-west Pakistan - until U.S. drone attacks in the country are stopped.

Hafiz Gul Bahadur said in a pamphlet distributed on Saturday that polio vaccination teams should stay away from the North Waziristan territory he controls near the Afghan border.

He wrote: 'We don't want benefits from well-wishers who spend billions to save children from polio, which can affect one or two out of hundreds of thousands.

So the above edict is not representative of the preferred allegiences of especially fanatical devotees of an especially inflexible politico-religious ideology, but the socio-political program of a hostile, gun-touting movement that seeks dominion over the entire globe deeming itself to have been sanctioned by Allah.

More delicate Islamo-diplomacy from the calculating zealots who the B. Hussein administration thinks we should negotiate with.

More than a decade of U.S. aid with nothing to show for it. If this does not sour us on the idea of nation building then nothing will.

The last time US Aid was used to vaccinate in Pakistan it was a ruse

The doctor who angered Pakistan's powerful security agencies by helping the CIA hunt down Osama bin Laden was sentenced to 33 years in prison on the basis of flimsy intelligence suggesting he was involved in Islamist militancy, a document from his trial has revealed.

The five-page summary verdict in Dr Shakil Afridi's case shows the antiquated tribal court that heard his case refused to consider evidence of his work for the CIA, which it said was outside its jurisdiction.

When Afridi's conviction came to light last week it was assumed he had been imprisoned for his work on a bogus vaccination programme intended to use DNA sampling to pinpoint the whereabouts of the former al-Qaida leader.

Who gives a fuck. We got Bin Laden, now call the troops home and let them catch polio if that's what they want to do to their children. Less of the Taliban, the better IMHO. Lets see em fight if they can't walk.

I have yet to check the truth of the story but posters should be aware the British daily mail is prone to the odd lie.

They are protecting their interest.
They need them for future suicide bombers, soldiers and informants.

If you don't get your future suicide bombers, soldiers and informants vaccinated they could croke before you even get to use them on the field.

Would it be a good idea for the US to stop illegally invading a sovereign country's airspace to kill suspects. not convicts?

You guys moaned like shit when someone did it to you but you do it over and over.

The vaccinations are the dangerous part. You're the cuckoo.

You are a fucking crazy ass bitch, don't come on here bitching to us if your kids get sick.

"Surprisingly, vaccination has never actually been clinically proven to be effective in preventing disease, for the simple reason that no researcher has directly exposed test subjects to diseases (nor is it possible for them to ethically do so)."

From Vaccines: know the risks

If you're referring to Pakistan and our continued success at reducing the age of "senior commanders" in islamic terrorist networks, it's foolish to believe that the Pakistani government is not on board with this.

You guys moan like shit when we take out your murderous heroes, yet these are the heroes who overwhelmingly murder moslems.

Although for that matter, why waste good vaccine on a child who won't need the benefits past their teenage years.

The author obviously never had the experience of living with someone who contracted poliomyelitis before Jonas Salks' polio vaccine became widely available and still hates the smell of hot wet wool. Or buried a child that died of scarlet fever before penicillin could destroy the streptococcus bacteria that caused it; or the one in 8 children who died of smallpox in the eighteenth century in Europe and Russia before Louis Pasture came along and noticed milkmaids everywhere were not ever dying of nor even contracting the disease smallpox due to having light cases of cowpox that gave them immunity and developed a simple vaccine for preventing the greater disease.

Polio has been virtually wiped out of this hemisphere thanks to Jonas Salk and another strain by Sabin. I'm not certain withdrawal of vaccines is wise.

Doctors in general don't vaccinate their children. I think I'll stick with their plan, not yours.
