[DAWN] A four-member 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...health workers, accompanied by Assistant Commissioner Sheikh Rafiq, was allegedly attacked by a school's administration in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... 's Nazimabad area on Tuesday after the team attempted to vaccinate its students against polio. A first information report against the school was registered in the Nazimabad cop shoppe after the incident, with the assistant commissioner as the complainant. The institution was subsequently sealed. According to DawnNews, the health workers had visited the school earlier to administer the polio vaccine to students. However, a hangover is the wrath of grapes... the school had reportedly refused to allow the children to be vaccinated, following which a team comprising polio health workers Asma, Shazia, Raees Farrukh and Raheela Masroor visited the school and insisted that the school officials not hinder them in their work. Despite insistence from the polio team, the school administration allegedly refused to budge and physically attacked the health workers, as well as Rafiq. The car used by the health workers was also damaged. Inspector General of Police Sindh A.D. Khowaja ordered the senior superintendent of police Central to submit a detailed report of the incident. The school has been contacted for its version of the events. Polio teams have also been the target of Lions of Islam allegedly after the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... spread rumours that the vaccination drives were a front for espionage or a conspiracy to sterilise Moslems. Though attacks targeting polio teams have decreased in frequency over the last few years, incidents of violence still occur. Last month, two female polio workers were bumped off in Quetta. Officials have also been baffled by the number of incidents of well-educated people refusing to vaccinate their children. Posted by: Fred 2018-02-21 |
