National polio drive announced after detection of three cases
[Dawn] As three cases of 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...
have been reported after a gap of 15 months, the national polio programme has decided to launch a campaign across the country to boost the immunity level of 43.3 million children up to the age of five years.

Moreover, considering a massive movement across the Afghan border, it has been decided to synchronise the campaign with Afghanistan.

Earlier, the campaign had to be held at sub-national level or in selected union councils but after detection of the recent cases it has been decided to conduct it across the country.

An official of the Ministry of NHS said the campaign will be conducted from May 23 to 27. As many as 43.3 million children under five years will also be given vitamin-A. He said that around 340,000 frontline workers will participate in the campaign.

On January 27, Pakistain marked a major milestone with no wild polio case reported for one year. But experts said there was still an imminent risk of poliovirus to any unvaccinated child across the border as children were moving with families and Pakistain and Afghanistan were the only two countries left with the virus.

However,
a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package...
during last few weeks, three cases of polio have been reported from North Wazoo.

#4 
Why the sudden panic?

Is it because the Polio Foundation has succeeded in its goal of wiping out Polio, and now they need to find a new jobs?

#5 It's NOT wiped out in Pak, Afghan, India....

Inoculation staff are regularly confronted and killed by the rustics. Polio was around in Mo's time. It's UnIslamic to prevent it. Allan's will and all that..

#6 On of our many road trip vacations in the family station wagon, parents took all of us to the Salk Institute to tour the place that "cured polio". For my parents, it was something of a pilgrimage. Now, behold the wonders of open borders.

#8 Maybe a free trip to Rekall, inc.? Let us feel like we were on that fateful trip into Kabul to rescue a ZSU and Afghans, laze up a runaway family station wagon?

"Damn you Cohaagen! Those were my Marines who got killed! We are a rescue team, not assassins!"

"Wrong Quaid! Your mission was always to deliver the pallets of cash and bring home the interpreters. Interpreters Quaid, that's what we call them. Our vision of alien ruins!"
