#1 Why not proclaim a fatwa against polio?

#2 I'd go with outright quarantine, accompanied by culling. But that's just me.

#3 Maybe quit killing and terrorizing the people who come to vaccinate you?
I'm asking, not saying, but it sounds just crazy enough to work.

#5 So, this sounds like a clerical shakedown? Like they feel they were cut out of the protection racket? They got cut out of the take in 2012, and have been, well, not actually interfering in the vaccination program, but not exactly pushing back against the backcountry lunatics. And maybe giving a wink and a nod to the boys behind closed doors, at least until the taps are opened again. Korans don't print themselves, you know. Nor do fortified princely compounds build themselves.

#6 You didn't protest when the children died.

You didn't protest when the polio workers were slaughtered,

But now that your income is threatened, you protest?

Fuck off and DIE.
