Scotland Shuts Down Childhood Immunization Program Over Muslim Complaints
front page ^ | October 5, 2013 | Daniel Greenfield

Posted on 10/16/2013 12:35:02 PM PDT by george76

Muslims don’t like vaccines. It’s safe to mock a Jenny McCarthy over vaccines, but no one mentions the vehement opposition of Islamists to vaccinations.

In Afghanistan, the Taliban have issued fatwas against vaccines and murdered workers. Nigeria and Pakistan have also been scenes of violent Muslim opposition to vaccination.

Muslims aren’t even 1 percent of the population of Scotland. But they’ve been doing their Talibanest best there, with the aid and support of the so-called Scottish National Party that often seems more like the Pakistani Immigrants Party and now Scotland’s largest vaccination program has been shut down because of them.

Polio, diphtheria are couple of diseases solved by vaccines.

Not solved, only mitigated.

Sorry, wrong thread.

Nonetheless, a great stand-alone comment.

If that is what you want then that is what you get. When these preventable diseases find your children we will simply quarantine your communities and let you fend for yourselves. You do not get to use our medicine and doctors that you distrust so much and we will not pay to treat something that should have been prevented. When these diseases decimate and eliminate the population within your communities and you are all dead we will not have to worry about what sixth century morons believe. Problem solved.

“Sure wish I understood what happened to Scotland. Or to England for that matter.”

Politically correct socialism happened. It’s really quite simple to anyone paying attention. Most Scots vote left and they are getting exactly what they want.

Not dying is pretty effective mitigation.

There are all sorts of crack pots in the US and Israel who have a problem with vaccines, too. One of them is my eldest son’s ex wife. So let them not vaccinate their kids, just like the other crack pots. Over this Scotland shuts down a vaccination clinic? They got anything under those kilts?

“They’re anti-Semitic too.”

My shockingly leftist Scottish friend talks about how the jews need to get over the Holocaust and stop making people feel sorry for them. He says he’s not anti-semitic, just anti-zionist, don’t you know.

And England is paying for it all. And the Scottish nationalists want independence, and think they have enough money to pay for their current lifestyle. Oh, and they want independence but want to stay in the EU.

Figure that out.

No, we are not.

There is little or no anti-Semitism in Scotland, now or historically. One of the few European countries that doesn’t have a history of it.

What there has been is some noxious anti-Israeli nonsense from Scottish pro-Palestine groups who have sadly succeeded in putting pressure on a small handful of local councils to ban buying Israeli products.

They do not speak for most Scots, who even if they don’t agree with Israeli policy, find such banning wrong and rather fascistic.

A tiny minority of anti-israelism, yes, but anti-Semitism (too often the two are joined), no.

The Jews have a happy history in Scotland.

The Scots rejected and reject racist and anti-Semitic groups, from Mosley’s 1930’s blackshirts to today’s BNP. Jews have lived and thrived in my country, and have famous areas of residence and culture, such as Newton Mearns just outside Glasgow and the Garnethill area in Glasgow. There have been many prominent Jewish businesspeople, artists and politicians in Scottish life.

You don’t honestly believe this would happen. We cannot even quarantine sexually transmitted diseases.
