#1 Until relatively recently, WHO has been using attenuated (live) polio vaccine in Africa and I believe they still are (it's cheaper and easier to administer). A practice discontinued in the West 40 years ago after it was found to cause polio in some children. Here is a link that documents what happened in Uganda in the late 1990s. Something similar happened in Oman. Here is a report from 2000 that documents several vaccine derived polio outbreaks. The issue in Nigeria was that the vaccines may have been contaminated with a (female) hormone. The reality is that WHO's polio eradication capaign has been marked by general incompetance and coverups, which fed into muslim ignorance and superstition.
