Anti-Semitism Now: A Vaccine Libel in Pakistan? October 17, 2008
Pakistani Muslim pilgrims making hajj to Saudi Arabia this year will be administered oral polio vaccine upon their entry into the country, Pakistan’s Dawn has reported. This year, Pakistan has seen 80 people fall victim to the debilitating illness, largely along the Pakistani-Afghani border, with most of the victims coming from areas in which vaccination campaigns have been unsuccessful.
Why have they been unsuccessful? In addition to anti-US sentiments (including one belief that US-produced vaccines were “designed to sterilize Pakistanis and reduce the Muslim population”):
The number of polio victims has risen to 80 this year. Most of them belong to the NWFP and Fata where vaccination campaigns have not succeeded because of opposition from some sections and fatwas issued by some ulema.
According to sources, these ulema believe that the vaccine being supplied to Pakistan is produced by Jews who use the income from its sale for anti-Muslim activities.
Sigh…
My reaction upon reading this story was quite similar to:
Unity and reduction of hatred benefits our mental, emotional, spiritual — and physical — health.
Lets not forget that there are still (prominent) people in the USA who believe this same sort of thing regarding vaccinations.
My own brother is afraid to vaccinate his kids against polio. And our dad is a survivor. He has theories on autism, group immunity etc.. but I think he’s just insane for not wanting to protect his family in any way possible.
Why do you call it anti-semitism? Because they think that Jews will use the money from the vaccines for anti-Muslim activities? This is a fact, those anti-Muslim activities they are referring to are activities conducted by Israel. And Israel is one of the largest producers of medicines exported to the U.S., such as through the company called “Teva”. And it is perfectly ok for people to reject vaccines, because through the disguise of such an altruistic program of free vaccines people have been found to have administered the AIDS virus like the Polio vaccines given in the 60s by Russian Jewish doctors and also the case of foreigners injecting AIDS into children in Libya under the guise of giving vaccines. According to declassified documents the FBI had a program of using it as a means of sterilizing Red Indians. So God bless those people that reject vaccines, especially those produced in Western countries. Life is short, why risk making it painful by giving into the Devil’s temptations, anyone who dies will go to meet their Lord, so death is an exciting thing unless your an Atheist. Which it seems you are if you still think in a materialistic way. Things are not as simple as believing a news article, you have to dig deeper and research to understand both sides of the argument. As we get closer to the end times, life will become more and more complex and evil will multiply.
