Spread of Polio is 'World health emergency' as disease spreads through Asia, Africa and Middle East
Daily Mail ^ | 09:46 EST, 5 May 2014 | By Leon Watson

"The spread of polio around the world has become so serious it is now an international public health emergency, the World Health Organization warned today.

The agency said the problem could grow in the next few months and unravel the nearly three-decade effort to eradicate the crippling disease.

It described current polio outbreaks in Asia, Africa and the Middle East as an 'extraordinary event' that required a coordinated international response. It was the first-ever international alert on polio.

'Until it is eradicated, polio will continue to spread internationally, find and paralyze susceptible kids,' Dr Bruce Aylward, who leads WHO's polio efforts."

Never let a crisis go to waste.

I wouldn't put it past the UN or WHO to deliberately create a polio epidemic to allow them to bootstrap it to the global government they want so badly.

I just hope this does not spread and is somehow neutralized. Not all epidemics are created by government.

Why is this happening? Because ASAP was a Jew, so many Muslims reject in that part of the work the vaccine as some Zionist plot. No joke.

It does concern me the people who are against vaccinations of any kind. We’ll see this scourge back in the U. S. with our immigration out of control, and folks who don’t trust the pharmaceutical industry, count on it.

Re: “Spread of Polio is world health emergency”

Someone tell Bill Gates.

His specialty - giving money to impoverished countries that:

(1) Refuse to embrace a capitalist free enterprise economy.

(2) Refuse to give up corruption.

(3) Refuse to accept enforceable contracts.

(4) Refuse to accept the rule of law.

(5) Refuse to recognize and protect private property.

Obama is just waiting for that to make it to the US in full force so it'll reduce the number of people who ever reach the age at which they might reproduce.

"Reach the age" because there's no more treating those who contract something that makes their life a "life not worth living" in the eyes of the Obamacare Eugenics weenies, it's; too expensive. And shots? Please, shots and immunities are an evil capitalist plot.

Yep. For one thing, some think it is a Jewish plot to sterilize them.

I fully agree; I’m going to probably talk to a few specialists about how to get the vaccine.

Or it might end up with Obama being bodily tossed out of the White House for being ineffective.

I don’t know your age or circumstances. I definitely think it’s worth looking into. Use your own best judgement, and certainly make the most informed decision you can. Never take my or anyone else’s comments as the end all/be all on this.

Best of luck to you.

Thanks; knowing what polio can do and has done to so many in the past (Iron Lung Machines anyone?) I’m going to go for it if I can and I strenuously encourage others to do so. I’m not going to wait until the epidemic actually arrives. The WHO wouldn’t be announcing this if it weren’t serious.

I was inoculated in the 1950s. I have no idea if I am immune today or not. I may be. I should probably check it out myself.

Obama's proof of "Loose lips sink ships." His method for confirming Bin Laden should never have been released.

That said the solution for this problem could come from our "friends" the Saudis if they are willing to help. Manufacture polio vaccine in either Mecca or Medina, purely for Islamic consumption, free of infidel contact, and clearly so labeled. Have appropriate religious authorities issue Fatwas and pay to have locals go to the source to be trained. The Saudis may not be a Mecca of high tech manufacturing, but there should be enough Muslim talent available to pull this off and it would be a use of Islamic charity to which all could agree.

Muslim jihadist kids are being paralyzed. Do I care that can’t they kill us infidels? No I don’t!

Truth be told, I see the polio epidemic infesting savage Muslim regions as a blessing in disguise. And I see no reason to cure them now so they can kill us later.

Part of the problem is that in muslim countries they tell people not to get vaccinated because vaccines are evil things designed to kill them from the Great Satan
