Another Islamic contribution to mankind. This is the religion in which humanitarian workers are murdered simply for trying to keep children from being stricken with a paralyzing virus. Lest we forget, the Taliban has even gone so far as to shoot polio aid workers and student volunteers dead. We have also seen attacks on doctors, nurses, and teachers by other devout Muslim groups such as Boko Haram in Nigeria. Back in 2012, another Muslim cleric in Pakistan warned that a jihad would be launched against polio vaccination teams. Residents said the cleric had tried to convince them that the polio campaign was a “Western conspiracy” to render the population impotent. The cleric went to the largest mosque in the area and preached jihad against doctors and health care workers, finally succeeding in getting the suspension of a critical health care program. It’s the sharia. Respect it!
“‘We Believed Our Cleric’: Pakistani Polio Victim’s Regretful Father Urges Others To Use Vaccine,” by Ron Synovitz and Ahmad Ullah, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, December 12, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
ISLAMABAD — Five-year-old Mohammad Ashar Aziz will never be able to walk without orthopedic leg braces.
Story continues below advertisementThe youngest of three brothers from a village near Islamabad, he is one of just 17 children in the world — all of them in Pakistan or Afghanistan — who developed paralysis during 2017 from a wild polio-virus infection.
His father, 41-year-old day laborer Hamid Aziz, is disconsolate because he repeatedly had the chance to immunize Mohammad Ashar for free during the past five years.
Instead, Hamid Aziz says he listened to the advice of a cleric in his village, who announced over loudspeakers of the madrasah, a local Islamic religious school, that the vaccine was “not good” for children’s health, and prevented it from being administered to any of his sons.
Whenever teams of government and international aid workers came to his village as part of a massive polio-eradication campaign, Aziz and his illiterate wife, Huma, hid Mohammad Ashar and his siblings and told the vaccination teams there were no children in their home.
“Why didn’t I give the vaccine to my son?” says Aziz, who quit school at the age of 14 and knew nothing about the polio vaccine.
“We believed what our cleric told us, but now I realize that we’ve not done the right thing for our son,” Aziz tells RFE/RL. “We realize how important it was and that we should have let him get the vaccine.”
Perceptions And Misinformation
Public health studies in Pakistan have shown that maternal illiteracy and low parental knowledge about vaccines — together with poverty and rural residency — are factors that most commonly influence whether children are vaccinated against the polio virus.
Nooran Afridi, a pediatrician at a private clinic in Pakistan’s Khyber tribal region, says one of the biggest obstacles to eradicating polio in Pakistan has been “refusals” stemming from “antipolio propaganda” spread by conservative Islamic clerics in “backward areas.”
One common fallacy in parts of Pakistan and Afghanistan with low literacy rates is that the vaccine sterilizes young boys.
Antipolio propaganda also has been fueled by distrust in Western governments who fund vaccine programs — particularly after the CIA staged a fake hepatitis vaccination campaign in 2011 to confirm the location of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
Since then, some clerics have even issued fatwas saying that children who become paralyzed or die from polio are “martyrs” because they refused to be tricked by a Western conspiracy.
Taliban militants in both Afghanistan and Pakistan also have propagandized that Western-made vaccines contain pig fat or alcohol, which are both forbidden in Islam.
Pakistan’s Tehrik-i Taliban has used that false claim to justify its killing of more than 80 polio vaccination team workers in Pakistan since a massive polio-eradication effort was launched in 2012….

Nothing new here. back in the 1980s the resistance of muslims to any immunization was well known and it now has made them reservoirs of diseases that technically should not exist on this planet and it goes much deeper than simple refusal as it is these scum who pollute other people’s water with faeces, who use their unclean(usually literally) left hand to prepare or serve food for unbelievers and who are even in the west bringing back diseases that we have controlled 99% polio, TB, Syphilis, Gonorhoea, even measles, mumps, pertussis, and the many parasitic worm infestations are common. yet the left tells us that “they are a clean people”. “clean?” By whose standards? ohh that is right 7th century Arabia.
This alone is reason for not diaspora but permanent removal.

muslims are their own worst enemy, Because of the nature of islam, no progress can be made as if mutgonad, police beat upon him, did not approve, then it cannot be done. This is part of the downfall of islam, is that it cannot change, will not change, but will murder others or die to prevent anything from changing. No loss, the sooner all muslims reject contemporary medicine, the better.

Muslims are the most primitive people there ever lived!!! They do not belong in any state anywhere in the world. They should be confined to their own areas and never let them come in contact with normal people.

In early ’70s there was a guy 50-ish at my factory workplace who had overcome childhood polio.He had an office job but still had some walking to do,w. a pronounced limp.At that time,I was glad I had recd.childhood vacc.in ’59.Now we open the floodgates to uneducated,contagiously diseased people who are 58 yrs.behind times(or 580 yrs.)?

Another reason to keep Muslims out of the country: preventing the spread of Polio and other infectious diseases.

Islam is a religion/political ideology trapped forever in the 7th century, unchanged and unchangeable. No wonder every Islamic country, even the obscenely wealthy ones like Saudi Arabia, is a hotbed of intolerance and violence.

The Muslims should stop all vaccinations. The world will be a much better – and a safer place for it., People who were struck with polio cannot fight or rape.

Since an effective polio vaccine has been abundantly available for the past half century, anyone in the US whose child contracts the disease is prosecuted for child abuse and neglect. But what has Pakistan to do with scientific advancement besides nuclear weapons?

Wouldn’t it be a shame if Polio infected the Muslim population in mass due to their backward so called religion keeping followers from getting a vaccine likely because it was invented by Dr. Jonas Salk, a Jew?
If infected, how would they bend over in the ass sniffing manner required for prayer to the pedophile Muhammad that they revere?
How could their devout automatons carry bombs into public places if they can’t walk? What a dilemma!
