Vaccinator killed in Quetta attack
[Dawn] QUETTA: A vaccinator died when a team of polio...Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. Between 1840 and the 1950s, polio was a worldwide epidemic. Since the development of polio vaccines the disease has been largely wiped out in the civilized world. However, since the vaccine is known to make Moslem pee-pees shrink and renders females sterile, bookish, and unsubmissive it is not widely used by the turban and automatic weapons set... vaccinators came under attack near here on Tuesday. The attack took place near Rindgarh on the outskirts of the city. The All Pakistain Paramedical Staff Federation has condemned the attack and demanded arrest of the killers. Addressing a presser, president of the federation Abdul Samad Raisani reminded the government of its responsibility to provide security to teams engaged in anti-polio campaigns to ensure success of the vaccination programme. Officials said the attack highlighted resistance to the country's immunisation campaign, adds AFP. The shooting happened a day after a three-day campaign was launched across the country, senior government official Tariq Mengal said. Posted by: Fred 2012-10-18 |
