Thanks to regional paranoia to vaccinations, each year 400,000 new cases of TB are reported in Pakistan.

Now this…

A Muslim cleric in Punjab Province launched a jihad against polio vaccinations.

IBN Live reported, via ROP:

A cleric in Pakistan’s Punjab province has warned that a jihad would be launched against polio vaccination teams at a time when the World Health Organisation has expressed concern at the emergence of new cases of the disease across the country. Maulvi Ibrahim Chisti of Muzaffargarh district declared the anti-polio campaign as “un-Islamic” and announced at the local mosque that jihad(holy war) should be carried out against the polio vaccination team.

(VIDEO) Chisti made the remarks after finding out that a vaccination team had entered Khan Pur Bagga Sher area of Muzaffargarh and asked families to cooperate with the campaign.

It should be noted – clerics broadcast the polio vaccine rumors from loud speakers at the local mosques in Pakistan.
