#1 Probably fake medicine. Happens in China all the time.

#2 This is entirely possible. Every drug, including vaccines, causes adverse reactions in some. It may be 1 in a million, but if you vaccinate an entire population like the US then you are pretty much guaranteed a few hundred deaths.

It's an interesting game theory problem. Society's best choice is for everyone to get vaccinated, while your individual best choice is for everyone *else* to get vaccinated.

#3 That's true, Iblis, but this particular claim probably needs to be seen as the result of claims by Muslim preachers that the West is killing Muslims through vaccination.

#4 This particular claim is one of the innumerable justifications / propaganda tools for JIHAD!

#5 A 13-day old baby died reportedly after she was administered polio drops in Naseerabad on Wednesday.

It takes longer than that for polio to incubate.

He said the premature baby was underweight (1.8kg) with poor physical health and declared her death natural.

A 4 pound preemie in a, more barbaric than most, unsanitary third world country. I'd check for quran bits shoved down her throat (the local cure for everything).
