Wazoo region are worried about 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...

But the ban is now threatening thousands of children in the area with Polio, which can cause irreversible infantile paralysis after infection.
Authorities have recently begun talks with the Taliban through local tribal Jirga mediators to remove the ban, Pakistain's Dawn newspaper reported. The talks reportedly began after another child was diagnosed with Polio, taking the toll of 2013 cases to 16.
Authorities say more than 150, 000 children remained unvaccinated due to the Taliban ban. The World Health Organization estimated that 39 of the 54 nationwide polio cases have come from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas.
The Taliban have carried out a series of attacks against health workers providing vaccination in the area. Earlier this month two were killed when an kaboom targeted a vaccination team in the restive northwestern city of Beautiful Downtown Peshawar

Ahmed Marwat, a front man for Jundullah, a splinter group of the Pak Taliban, grabbed credit, telling Rooters: "Jews and the United States want to stamp out Islamic beliefs through these drops."
Tariq Bhutta of the Pakistain Pediatric Association told Rooters this month that Taliban are unlikely to change their stance and left the ban of polio vaccines. The attacks against vaccination teams are becoming more frequent, he said.
"The vaccination teams are still going out, but at risk to their lives," he told Rooters. "People can come up on cycle of violences and shoot them, and they've also started attacking the police put there to protect the vaccination teams."
The Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) says polio remains endemic in three countries -- Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistain.
"Until poliovirus transmission is interrupted in these countries, all countries remain at risk of importation of polio, especially in the 'poliovirus importation belt' of countries from west Africa to the Horn of Africa," GPEI added.
Recently GPEI reported that 10 cases of polio have been confirmed in the war-torn Syria confirmed following an investigation. Most of the cases included children 2 years old or younger and were either. Polio has not been detected in Syria since 1999 and the origins of the latest cases have not been determined.
