| [DAWN] Pakistain will set up mandatory 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... immunisation points at its international airports in response to recommendations by the World Health Organisation, the health ministry said Tuesday. The WHO warned Monday that the crippling disease has re-emerged as a public health emergency, with the virus currently affecting 10 countries worldwide and endemic in three including Pakistain. "Special measures will include establishing mandatory immunisation counters on all airports, border crossings and seaports for all travellers," said ministry front man Sajid Ali Shah. The WHO had called on Pakistain, Cameroon and Syria, seen as posing the greatest risk of exporting wild poliovirus, to ensure all residents and long-term visitors receive a polio vaccine between four weeks and a year before travelling abroad. |
