Another polio case detected in Sindh
2013-04-06
[Dawn] The second 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...
 case in Sindh and sixth in the country of this year was detected in a 17-month-old girl in Dadu district, officials confirmed on Thursday.

According to officials associated with the Expanded Programme for Immunisation (EPI) of Sindh, the affected girl, Suhana, daughter of Ghulam Mustafa, was found with polio's P-1 virus in a village of Mehar taluka of Dadu district.

"The P-1 virus was detected in the 17-month-old girl though she had been duly vaccinated with polio drops," said Dr Mazhar Khamisani, Sindh EPI director.

He said the sample was collected on March 22 and sent to the National Institute of Health, Islamabad, and the result was received on Thursday.

"It is the second polio case in Sindh and sixth in overall Pakistain. Three polio cases have been detected in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa
... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central...
 and one in Punjab this year," Dr Khamisani said.

#2  The vaccine was ineffective - because it was handled/administered wrong (easy to see that happening if people are trying to kill you while you vaccinate), or has the virus evolved resistance in the abundance of infections of the unvaccinated over the past few years?

I'd bet that it hadn't been properly stored and therefore deteriorated, Glenmore, or it had been diluted, or it was actually plain water. They've been having problems with that particular form of corruption in that part of the world recently.
