A volunteer who was shot during a wave of attacks on polio-vaccination teams has succumbed to his injuries in Pakistan.
That brings to nine the number of health workers killed since December 17.
Officials say the student volunteer died on December 20, a day after he was shot while helping distribute polio drops in the northwestern city of Peshawar.
Five of the nine health workers killed were women.
The bloodshed prompted United Nations agencies to suspend their campaign against polio in Pakistan after the attacks.
The Islamic terrorist group Jundullah claimed responsibility, telling RFE/RL’s Radio Mashaal that polio vaccination is forbidden in Islam.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

I suspect the 48,000 kids that were vaccinated fairly recently, and came down With polio- the vaccine strain, not wild, may have a bit to do with this.
I don’t condone the shooting/ killing.
but I see why it isnt welcomed.
William F Engdahls book (seeds of destruction)also shows that tests done on vaccines used in phillipines and elsewhere, that DID contain hcg that caused abortions stillbirths and sterility, .
were correct.
hence the understandable suspicion of WHO CDC NIH and Gates.
and australias CSIRO while govvy run was one of the makers of such vaccines.
shame on us.
So all of those rumors about government-provided health care death panels were true.
One of the problems the health organizations have to deal with is the fact that the CIA has repeatedly used them as a front for their own operations and cause the third world countries to be suspicous of the true intent of the health organizations . Another is that the third world countries with a large muslim population are infested with a culture of murder and hatred . Realize also that due to the backward religion practiced by pakistan a large number of their people are ignorant and mislead . I can understand the fear of allowing ones self to be vaccinated in todays world as you do have to wonder if the vaccines are pure and properly formulated . I wouldn’t put it past evil people to purposely contaminate vaccines in order to achieve some goal . I know , it is sad to have that distrust but it is reality today to not be able to trust even our own government .
Back-burnering the fact that different genotypes require different vaccines, ie physically compatible shots, as a father how far would you go to protect your children?
Would you die for them? Would you kill? Apparently, some people are willing to kill for their kids. It happened many times in Africa (not Religion of Peace, generally) before this recent spate in Pakistan. Ascribing these actions to the Skeery Mooslim is convenient, and lazy. Beneath you.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Huh. Maybe I’ve given you too much credit. Maybe it isn’t beneath you.
What kind of nutcase thinks that you kill people to keep your children from being innoculated against polio? Sane people say “no thank you, I don’t want my child to do that.”
Go easy Steve – Trip is probably a Democrat…
Polio vaccine is a liquid given as a drop orally. Polio vaccine is probably the safest vaccine ever developed. I have personally vaccinated as many as 10,000 in my working life so don’t be handing out my IP to Jundullah.
Polio on the other hand is a virile and extremely harmful disease with serious even fatal consequences.
I can’t remember the specific chapter in the Quran forbidding Polio vaccine – that Mohammed was sure some sort of prophet.
If the crazies want to remain in the type of squalor that modern life banishes they will regret it.
These morons ought to consider modern history where the single biggest increase in life span over the 20th Century was vaccination against the scourges that killed us more effectively than we could ourselves.
In the earyl 1900s average life expectancy was at least 30 years less than today.
I can’t understand all the genocidal environmental advocates – they should be backing Jundullah – a return to pre-modern times with uncontrolled disease is at least as likely to devastate humanity as much as that small increase in average temperature they’re all praying will recommence – especially as it is inconveniently missing for 16 years or so.
“I can’t understand all the genocidal environmental advocates – they should be backing Jundullah – a return to pre-modern times with uncontrolled disease is at least as likely to devastate humanity”
They are all missing that morning alarm-call that has echoed down the ages –
“Bring out your dead!”
Could it be that they think, if they destroy this evil capitalist, material world, some sort of Utopia will rise from the ashes, and people will ride around on butterflies and moonbeams, collecting the early morning dew and nectar for sustenance.
how about they supplyclean water and sewage to those folks for far less and much more use for amenity and health? clean water and proper waste disposal all by themsleves massively drops disease levels of polio rotovirus etc. polio is soil/water borne ,hygeine removes most of the problem immediately. education works as well if not better than vaccination..
what do you think some 300Billion this yeat gone, would do for helping solve those issues? rather than profiting a very selct few pharmas /shareholders etc that WE taxpayers subsidise to boot.
I have no problem with anyone making a profit,
i DO have a big issue with people lying for money over others wellbeing, faking data and results or plain Not doing safety tests at all, which covers a huge slather of pharma big agri .
recent retraction watch items are a real eye opener for FDA and other skulduggery.
again the warmist agenda of lies and shutting down any opposition is the same modus operandi, as the above others use.
I know how hard it is to live without running water, having to boil all you use, carry buckets to bathe etc its no fun and a lot fo work, I dont decry modern convenience, a fridge sure beats a meat safe:-) a washing machine saves arthritis and backaches later,, not having to light a fire and wait n hour to cook breakfast etc but using a gas or electric stove, just doubt the value or worth of many of the less vital ones./
