The advance of polio
[NATION.PK] A blast in Mohmand agency killed two 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...
 workers and injured one more on Wednesday, the third day of Eid. No terrorist organization has grabbed credit for the attack as of yet, which is why it is still uncertain whether the polio workers were the ones being targeted. But even if no one has owned up to the attack, the bomb's close proximity to the house of the workers tell us that this was no coincidence.

Over 60 polio workers have been killed since 2012, and this does not include the tally of those that died protecting the workers in similar attacks over the past two years. The highest number of refusals to vaccinate have come from the agencies that connect to the Durand Line, as do most of the attacks on polio workers. Statistics alone tell us that if an effective immunization campaign is to be carried out, it must be largely focused in the tribal agencies, or the spread of the disease will continue unmitigated.

Operation Zarb-e-Azb
..the Pak offensive against Qaeda in Pakistain and the Pak Taliban in North Wazoo. The name refers to the sword of the Prophet (PTUI!)...
 brought about an increased movement of unvaccinated people from North Wazoo to the rest of the country, which means that the last three months of the year are likely to see another flurry of cases reported. The bandidos Lions of Islam have been carrying out a war against polio vaccination, and the government's inability to protect workers and fight the narrative against the vaccine has made Pakistain an 80 percent contributor of polio in the world. The year's total is at an all-time high in 14 years, and this upward trend does not look to be going in a different direction anytime soon. Pakistain would do well to look at India, which became a polio-free nation at the end of 2013, even though they had over 700 cases as recently as 2009. The only way we can rid ourselves of the disease is if the protection of polio workers is made top priority, treating it as a part of the fight against krazed killers. This is terrorism, pure and simple. The safety of polio workers cannot be stressed enough, and it is a dismal failure of state and intelligence agencies, that they are still being systematically targeted and brutally killed.
