#1 But the last group of cases is the hardest to deal with because poverty and lack of education prevent people from understanding the need for vaccinations, Thompson said.

He forgot to include the third reason: Muslim clerics.

#3 These morons in northern Nigeria are breeding up a disaster of monumental proportions and all because they have refused to let their flocks participate in the local polio vaccination programmes. They claim the vaccines are tainted with HIV/AIDS or infertility compounds to reduce birth rates in this predominantly Muslim area. This, despite proof from scientific tests that the vaccine is pure.

Africa is now facing polio outbreaks in areas that have not had a case in years. A majority of this is due to these Imams. They need to be arrested for the intentional murder of those who are now dying of polio. We need to remove such backwards hidebound clergy when they pose such a threat to nations of other people. If these Imams have any personal wealth, it should be distributed amongst the polio victims.

This is picture perfect example of rabid anti-western mentality biting off its own nose (and those of others) to spite its own face. Quite simply, they are murderers.

#4 Just ban anyone from those countries from entering the US - including their diplomats. That's their problem. Let them fix it.
