Polio may spread in wake of North Waziristan operation: UN
2014-06-25
[DAWN] About 50,000 Paks have crossed into eastern Afghanistan to escape air strikes over the past 10 days and 435,000 have fled within their homeland, which could fuel the spread 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...
as many are not vaccinated, UN agencies said on Tuesday.

Pakistain's military gave residents of North Wazoo until the end of Monday to leave the remote mountainous region ahead of a widely anticipated major ground offensive by the army against myrmidons.

The local governing shura, or religious leadership in North Waziristan, has banned polio vaccination for the past two years, demanding a halt to US drone strikes, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

The number of Paks who have fled to Afghanistan since military operations began on June 15 jumped from 7,000 last Friday to an estimated 50,000, Dan McNorton of the UN refugee agency told a briefing. Most are in Khost and Paktika
...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo...
provinces.

"There was a temporary halt to military operations, to air strikes on Sunday ... So that why we have seen the figures rise particularly quickly in the last couple of days," McNorton said.

Most of the 435,000 displaced within Pakistain are in Bannu, Lakki Marsat, Dera Ismail Khan
... the Pearl of Pashtunistan ...
and Tank in Kyber Pakhtunkhwa province, but some arrived in Punjab and Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
, he said.

#3  Give 'em a full set of inoculations as a prerequisite for registering for aid and such. That'll thin out the objectors considerably... just as Pakistanis are now required to get inoculated before flying out of the country.
