We have seen this many times in the past. In September 2022, four polio workers were murdered in Pakistan. Eight polio workers were murdered in Afghanistan in February 2022. A Pakistani Muslim cleric has said that polio vaccinations are un-Islamic. And in Nigeria, a Muslim cleric was arrested for playing a role in sparking the murders of polio workers. The polio vaccine is often seen as a Western infidel conspiracy to sterilize Muslim children. Some Muslims are also suspicious of the vaccine because the CIA ran a fake vaccination campaign to try to find Osama bin Laden.
“Two killed in attack on Pakistani polio vaccination team,” Reuters, September 12, 2024 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Unidentified assailants opened fire on a polio vaccination team in northwestern Pakistan on Wednesday, killing one of those handing out doses and one policeman escorting him, police said.
The attack in the region bordering Afghanistan comes two days after Pakistan launched its latest national campaign to stamp out the virus, which still poses a health threat in the South Asian nation, although mostly eradicated elsewhere.
“Unidentified armed men opened fire on polio vaccination team in a subdivision of Bajaur tribal district as they were on the vaccination campaign,” district police officer Waqas Rafique told Reuters.
No group has claimed responsibility, but previously Islamist militant groups in the region have claimed similar attacks on polio teams, falsely portraying the inoculation campaigns as a Western conspiracy to sterilise children….

Don’t even bother trying to help them It’s a lost cause. Take the resources, time, money and effort and direct it towards helping the persecuted and oppressed minority groups (such as Christians, Hindus and Sikhs) in Pakistan and Bangladesh.
More specifically, help them to leave those countries for India or elsewhere.
Troybeam says
I agree. It is a waste of time, money and people die because Islam forbids vaccinations.

This attack on the polio campaign shows the immense stupidity of islam and the muslims. Let the muslims get sick with polio and don’t treat them until they die. Good ridance to them
OLD GUY says
It also shows the stupidity of our aid agencies, Aiding your enemies population is aiding the enemy in general.
bagsgroove says
Every day we learn more about the stupidity of muslims. Let them get infected with polio and die. Good riddance to them.

Pakistan: Muslims open fire on polio vaccination team, killing one polio worker and one police guard

Jihad against protecting children from polio.
God, I hate Islam.

It will only end when someone mercilessly returns fire on these demons.
Sadly, the vast majority of their murderous activity occurs where people have no ability to return fire.😔 ex: (October 7th)

Drs Salk and Sabin, the inventors of both polio vaccines are Jewish. Can we really blame the ackbarbarians from not wanting Jew filth put into their children.
Daniel Stalling says
Good day,
I hate to say it, but it looks like it is time to leave these people to their own devices. In fact, we should probably encourage as many life-threatening conspiracy theories as possible in these countries. At one point in their history Islamic scholars and researchers led the world in the thinking arts (many centuries ago). But they have interpreted their religion into something anti-human. And maybe it will take major failure of radical Islam to bring them back into the world community.
Let’s face it. While the backwards social ramblings of a desert war-chief were seen to be allegorical, they made progress. But, having dropped the pretense of philosophically musing over Mohammed’s words, and deciding to take them literally, they have become a blight to the rest of humanity.
