Israel confirms over 161,000 polio vaccines administered in Gaza in campaign’s first 2 days

[IsraelTimes] Israeli authorities release figures on the 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. Currently the disease is only found in Pakistain and Afghanistain...
vaccination push in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
that correspond to what the World Health Organization is saying.

The IDF’s Southern Command and the Defense Ministry’s Coordinator for Government Activities in the Territories say that on Sunday, the first day of the campaign, approximately 86,683 people were vaccinated. Yesterday, approximately 74,346 people were vaccinated.

The World Health Organization in Gaza confirms that it has vaccinated over 161,000 children under 10 in the central Strip versus a projected 150,000.

The drive comes after an unvaccinated 10-month-old baby from central Gaza contracted polio and suffered partial paralysis, in the first case of the disease in the enclave in 25 years.

The drive is staggered across three geographic regions of Gaza, beginning in the central Strip on September 1-3, then in southern Gaza on September 4-6, and finally in northern Gaza on September 7-9.

The campaign, which involves two doses, aims to cover over 640,000 children under age 10 over the next nine days.

#5  If the IDF would swap their bombs and bullets with polio vaccine before use, they could commit genocide AND vaccinate the population. It's a Win-Win!

#4  First, children of Gaza were starving (with 500+ trucks of food per day).
Now they've polio (with 90% pop vaccinated).

#2  Why is Israel doing this if they are committing genocide? I would think they would be preventing the distribution of vaccines.

Ah, so they aren't really committing genocide. Got it.

#1  Unlike in say, Pakistan, there is a very good chance that the people administering the vaccine won't be murdered by Islamofascist terrorists.
