Vaccine refusal: another polio case surfaces in Quetta
[DAWN] QUETTA: A fresh case of the crippling 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... disease was confirmed in Quetta Thursday, with health officials claiming the victim's father had refused to get his child vaccinated during anti-polio campaigns. Dr Syed Saifur Rehman, Coordinator Emergency Operation Center (EOC) Balochistan  ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... , confirmed that two-year-old Rab Nawaz Noorzai, resident of Noorzai Colony in Quetta's Eastern Bypass area, tested positive for the virus. "The child was never vaccinated since his father had refused the drops." Officials say the father used to hide the child when vaccination teams visited their house. "The negligence of parents led to the child being paralysed for life," Rehman said. "We have been successful in bringing down the number of refusals and the situation has significantly improved compared to the previous year," he added. Posted by: Fred 2015-12-04 |
