Polio Causes Global Health Emergency
mdsolar (1045926) sends this news from Bloomberg: "The spread of polio to countries previously considered free of the crippling disease is a global health emergency, the World Health Organization said, as the virus once driven to the brink of extinction mounts a comeback. Pakistan, Cameroon and Syria pose the greatest risk of exporting the virus to other countries, and should ensure that residents have been vaccinated before they travel, the Geneva-based WHO said in a statement today after a meeting of its emergency committee. It's only the second time the United Nations agency has declared a public health emergency of international concern, after the 2009 influenza pandemic. Polio has resurged as military conflicts from Sudan to Pakistan disrupt vaccination campaigns, giving the virus a toehold. The number of cases reached a record low of 223 globally in 2012 and jumped to 417 last year, according to the WHO. There have been 74 cases this year, including 59 in Pakistan, during what is usually polio's 'low season,' the WHO said. "
Fuck you Jenny McCarthy and your anti-vax followers.
No silly, it's a plot by the CIA to sterilize your children; don't take it.
those bastards are persistent and need to be eradicated, the bull shit they come up with to avoid vaccinating their kids is epic. They are starting to knowledge that autism is not caused by vaccines but they have come up with other bull. The newest one seems to be that vaccines cause SIDS, they wont produce any info on this and I have googled away and the only thing I find is reference to a settlement given by a vaccine company in a case of lupus in a child (they state this is proof the vaccine caused sids (hep b vax). You will never convince them. Another anecdote from my practice, I had a mom who got a settlement for her childs seizures years ago from a vaccine company. No one had worked up the seizures at the time and a settlement got awarded, something was definitely wrong, after extensive workup half her brain was congenitally absent. Take your bullshit with a grain of salt, they only way things will get better is if we actively promote vaccines and go out of our way to debunk this crap!
It did not help that the CIA had a DNA collection, excuse me, "Intelligence gathering" operative working as a Doctor in one of the countries where the problem is the worst. Now health workers are getting assaulted and the poor who could get vaccinated, are without.
It couldn't have anything to do with this (CIA using polio vaccinations as cover) could it?

A lot, and I do mean a lot of the international difficulties people have with vaccination programs is their frequent use as a cover for intelligence operations.
CDC made no such admission. http://www.skepticalraptor.com... Stop citing rumor websites.

Probably started this to distract us from Benghazi, didn't you??
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
Stop twisting facts.
Oh really? That article notes that from 1955 to 1963 the vaccine might have been contaminated with a virus that might cause cancer.
To say that the vaccine "causes" cancer (present tense) is blatantly false.
dude did a ted talk a couple years back full of optimism. Why can't we all just say, fuck you polio, and git her done?
if i can imagine one thing most everybody should be able to get behind it should be the eradication of disease. Lets all agree that polio is bad, and getting rid of polio is good. and if the WHO can convince warlords to help with the vaccination effort in the moments between open conflict, why isn't this problem kicked?
Seriously, what the hell? 417 cases of polio last year reported. This has to be on par with the number of motorcycle deaths due to flying mammals.
The Taliban (rat bastards that they are) are shooting volunteer nurses at vaccination clinics. Now some kids are going without. Now its true that the CIA did have an intelligence gathering operation for a while, and it might still be going. On the other hand, disease is disease. The CIA *might* find out who you are, and the disease *might* kill the kids. The Taliban (rat bastards that they are) have decided that they are more important than their kids, so the kids *might* get sick, but the CIA *will never* find out about them (if they are actually part of the vaccination program anymore). The thing is that Science isn't lie religion. Even if you stop believing in it, its still there (pretty much the same definition as reality). So its like this: Its the Talibans (Rat Bastards) Will that the kids not get the vaccination, and Gods Will if the kids get sick and die. That way, they can blame God instead of themselves.
Yeah, a page with a total of two links, both broken, is far more credible than a blog post with over 50 links to medical and scientific articles, journals, studies, and stories.
And what's not to trust about naturalnews.com, a site that links over and over again to articles and sources on naturalnews.com?

That's crazy conspiracy talk
the preceding comment is my own and in no way reflects the opinion of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
Most of the people who are not vaccinated are relidiots, either Islamic or Christian. Their imaginary friend makes plans and we, humans, are not to interfere with those. If their imaginary friend wants to make you ill, you better get ill instead of using a vaccination!
Here in The Netherlands it's the neanderthalers in the 'bible belt' who get infected because of the insane reasons mentioned above, and in the Middle East it's fundamentalist Muslims who prevent vaccination.
Oh, the blessings of religion!

Every time I read about that I want to flog the CIA operatives that thought that up.
I mean, couldn't they have given out the REAL vaccine while they were at it? Or better yet, followed the rules of war and NOT imitated medical personnel?
I don't read AC A human right
Who's taking Polio vaccine intravenously? I thought it was usually administered orally.

Don't bother reading his actual speeches though, you might find out that you've been duped into believing there is such a thing as 'vaccination'...
It is easier to fool someone, than to convince them they've been fooled...
This site is laughable, the braindead, party liners on here, who couldn't think if their lives depended on it.
In Dr Hadwen's talks, he clearly proves that Jenner was a FRAUD, and that 'vaccination' doesn't work.
One more reason to shut the doors round em all up and feck em off back whence they proliferated from .

Emergency Powers! WHO! Where's the paranoia?
What cached page? Both links are broken. There is no cache linked to.

I've heard people say sugar causes cancer as well. And I still take sugar.

It is suspected that distilled water also causes cancer. More research is needed, but the scientists are still fighting over the formulation of the non-distilled 'dirty' water to use for the control group.
DHMO has a warning page all to itself. We've yet to see a case of cancer that didn't have prior DHMO use.

I can haz sterilization without surgery? Where can I get some of this vaccine, please?
Boosters are often administered orally. I'd bet the Big-C AC is thinking those shots must be taken anally and vaginally instead, with a big dildo, laced with HPV.
I do on a regular basis. Even for a troll, you are pretty pathetic.
Randall, it's OK to log in.
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
That's only a problem with polio if you drink where you shit. Why should anyone living on more than 5$ per day be worried about this? Are you commonly concerned about the anal-oral route for pathogens?
Quick reminder that polio outbreaks occurred periodically in the U.S. up through the 1950's, prior to the development of effective vaccines.
Even being born to a wealthy and high-status family in the U.S. was no guarantee of safety from polio infection, as was experienced by Franklin Roosevelt, at the age of 39.
Did anyone else read the title and think the post would be about some global food recall?
On my screen, with the font slashdot uses for titles (and with my eyes) I can't distinguish i and l.
Really? You people think they even know who she is, much less listen to her? The Republicans are more to blame for this for refusing to pay for vaccines in other countries than some random nutcake. Seriously? A +5?

If you really don't think that was another -ahem- bullet point in the CIA's slide deck for this operation, I have some swamp-based bitcoins to sell you.
Google "GNRH vaccine" - it's for boars, but it also works on humans. It might have *some* side effects.
