[Dawn] Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal MPA Mufti Kifayatullah on Friday announced to table a bill in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa

Assembly to declare production of anti-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...
vaccination certificate mandatory for admission of children to schools in the province.

Speaking on a point of order in the House, holy man-turned-politician from Mansehra
...a city and an eponymous district in eastern Khyber-Pakthunwa, nestled snug up against Pak Kashmir, with Kohistan and Diamir to the north and Abbottabad to the south...
Mufti Kifayatullah said he would table private member's bill in the House during the ongoing session for making polio vaccination mandatory for admission to schools.

He said the bill stated that parents should be bound to produce anti-polio vaccination certificate while seeking admission for their children to government and private schools in the province.

The politician criticised the government over the killing of vaccinators and failure to arrest the culpable people and declared it the government's inefficiency.

He urged the government to provide health workers carrying out anti-polio vaccination campaign with proper security.

Mr Kifayatullah proposed that the government stop sending vaccinators from door to door and make arrangements for vaccination of children against polio in mosques.

During the session, politicians from both the treasury and opposition benches condemned the killing of polio vaccinators in the province.

#5  So you have to be vaccinated in order to go to school, eh? Not a problem. Education is un-Islamic, especially for girls.

#4  They KNOW what polio does,

I suspect not, Glenmore. Most are wholly ignorant, or have a madrassah education, which does not teach the microbial theory of disease causation. What they know is that Allah strikes some with disease, and he decides who will be lamed or worse thereafter as a punishment for someone's misdeeds. With that idea, it is understandable if they see inoculation as a) poisoning their children, or b) interfering with Allah's will.

They're already half of that, RJ.

Let's hurry up the "gone" half.

#1  They KNOW what polio does, yet they still are so terrified of the vaccine that they murder the health care workers who would provide it. How can we divert that insanity into something 'useful?'
