They don't trust vaccines in that part of the world because in some situations our intel agencies use that as a ruse to collect intel. One of the more famous cases was a polio drive engineered by the CIA to collect DNA to narrow down the search for OBL. That didn't go over to well...Just as USAID was used as cover as well.

I know that is what they said, but in fact, has that ever been proven? In any case, I was referring to a time long before OBL was in Afghanistan. Part of our Peace Corps group was dong thing like digging wells and they had opposition from the mullahs.
