Polio confusion
2014-06-17
[DAWN] THIS year so far, Pakistain has recorded 82 cases of 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...
. Of these, 64 cases emanate from Fata with 53 reported from North Wazoo alone. An overwhelming number of cases come from children under two years, implying they never received a single dose of the vaccine due to the Taliban ban in effect since July 2012. Fata alone accounts for more than 60pc of worldwide polio cases this year.

As of June 1, travellers from Pakistain must produce government-issued polio vaccination certificates. Far from implementing the decision, the federal and provincial governments have wasted time deciding who the responsibility falls on. The polio drops are free and must be obtained from a government hospital, with a certificate issued by a health official.
