Example of ignorance of Pakistanis! Attacks on volunteers working in anti-polio campaign

Pakistan News: On one hand, all the countries of the world are progressing, but now Pakistan has become poor. Polio has been eradicated from almost all the countries of the world. Polio is still a serious problem in Pakistan. That is why Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif is very worried. The chances of eradicating polio from Pakistan are diminishing. So many children have lost their lives.

During a special meeting of the World Economic Forum in Riyadh, Pakistan Prime Minister Sharif discussed vaccination, nutrition and financial investments with Bill Gates, founder of the Bill & Melinda-Gates Foundation.

According to a report, Bill Gates had praised Sharif's vaccination campaign when he was the Chief Minister of Punjab. Bill Gates recalled his visit to Pakistan in 2022 and invited him to visit Pakistan again. Polio-vaccination was also discussed. But now this is the condition of anti-polio vaccination in Pakistan. This will surprise you.

A few months ago, a team administering polio drops to children was fired upon in Khyber-Pashtun Bajaur district. An officer also died in this.

There are also groups in Pakistan that are enemies of the anti-polio campaign. They connect this campaign with the religion of Islam. That's why they open fire on those people who go to administer polio vaccine drops to children.

Pakistani fundamentalists believe that polio drops make them impotent. This action is a conspiracy to reduce the population of Muslims. In the last 12 years, 109 people have lost their lives associated with the polio campaign. Many have been kidnapped. 284 people associated with the polio campaign have died. This includes 166 police personnel and 87 health workers.
