Anti-polio campaign to kick off in various parts of the country today
2019-08-27
[DAWN] As part of the government’s renewed efforts to eradicate 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...
, anti-polio campaigns are set to start in various parts on the country ‐ including Lahore, Khyber Pakhtunkhawa 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...
‐ on Monday. The campaigns of various lengths will span over the next 7 days.

Previous attempts at such campaigns and use of the anti-polio vaccine have been met with resistance amongst some parts of the country which has led to many children not being vaccinated against the disease.

This lack of control has caused Pakistain to be one of three remaining nations ‐ the other two being Afghanistan and Nigeria ‐ that are still fighting polio.

Most recently, five new cases of polio have brought the total number up to 58 this year. This indicating a sharp increase of 383.33 per cent from last year’s figure of 12.

Last week, Prime Minister Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who is the lightweight's lightweight...
showed "serious concern" over the recent spike in polio cases in the country and directed federal and provincial government officials to undertake effective awareness and immunisation campaigns so that the disease can be kept in check.

The premier also announced that he will start leading the polio programme from November.

#3  If you've ever seen a person living in an iron lung, believe me it's the worst.
Seeing a picture isn't the same as people probably can't believe it, but taking care of a person locked in this machine living and breathing was worse than any torture chamber.
Believe me I'd rather be 'sterile or have a small pee pee' than this torturous life.
Terrorists probably would die before getting to the point of needing the iron lung.

#1  Who are these fucking idiots trying to rid communities in Pakistain and Nigeria of widespread diseases ? Isn't it their right to refuse to be treated and just die out ? Save the world some carbon too, if you believe all that.
