Health officials urge polio vaccination of Gazans, as IDF says process has begun

Yes, that is of course exactly what genocidaires do — vaccinate enemy kiddies against dread diseases... at no charge to the families.

[IsraelTimes] The heads of Israeli medical societies urge the health and defense ministers to allow a humanitarian ceasefire to vaccinate the population in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...

...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...
In a joint letter sent yesterday to Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and Health Minister Uriel Buso, the doctors voice their concern after Gaza recorded its first polio case in 25 years last week when tests in Jordan confirmed the disease in an unvaccinated 10-month-old baby from the central Gaza Strip.

According to the World Health Organization, about 90% of the population in Gaza was vaccinated against polio in the first quarter of 2024.

"All infants in Israel and Gaza who have not yet received the full vaccinations are at high risk," the doctors write. "Our soldiers in Gaza and those treating prisoners from Gaza are also at risk. Some of those infected may suffer paralysis for the rest of their lives or spread the virus to immunocompromised populations."

IDF International Spokesperson Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani says on X that "in the coming weeks, 43,250 vials of vaccine are expected to arrive in Israel and will enter the Gaza Strip, enough to vaccinate over 1 million children in 2 rounds."

He adds that according to the World Health Organization, about 90% of the population in Gaza was vaccinated against polio in the first quarter of 2024.

They did it without pausing the war then, too….

"Although the percentage of vaccinated residents of the Gaza Strip is high, babies likely born in Gaza after October 2023 and children who did not complete their polio vaccinations after the outbreak of war need additional doses," says Dr. Eyal Leshem, director of the Center for Travel Medicine and Tropical Diseases at Sheba Medical Center.

He says the vaccine to be given, nOPV2, is designed to provide immunity against type 2 poliovirus while reducing the risk of vaccine-derived poliovirus outbreaks.

"The vaccine is supplied in vials with 50 doses," Leshem says. "Therefore, it is likely that 2 doses can be given to each unvaccinated child, as well as booster doses to those already vaccinated."

QUESTION: Given the UN's push to empower the WHO.
Has anyone ever asked the WHO to explain why it declared Polio globally eradicated in 2015?

#5 Has anyone ever asked the WHO to explain why it declared Polio globally eradicated in 2015?

The word "eradicated" is being misused here, but essentially they have. At least in civilized countries where the vaccination teams don't get murdered. Eradicated, in the public health sense, means there are no naturally occurring cases anywhere. So far, smallpox is the only disease to have been eradicated. Yay, humans! And 3 cheers for Western medicine.

From the WHO website:
Wild poliovirus cases have decreased by over 99% since 1988, from an estimated 350,000 cases in more than 125 endemic countries to 6 reported cases in 2021. Of the 3 strains of wild poliovirus (type 1, type 2 and type 3), wild poliovirus type 2 was eradicated in 1999 and wild poliovirus type 3 was eradicated in 2020. As at 2022, endemic wild poliovirus type 1 remains in two countries: Pakistan and Afghanistan.

"Who done it?"
"The WHO."
"Yeah, that's what I'm asking. Who?"
"That's what I said. WHO"
"What?"
"No, WHO."
"ARGGHH!"
(sounds of violent scuffling)
