Well I wonder if they can build iron lungs using Middle ages technology

Polio would probably have been eradicated years ago if it was not for the continuing scourge of religion on humankind.
Let them have it their way then..
Blocking healthcare workers is only going to hurt the most vulnerable.
You reap what you sow. Horrible for those who have to suffer from it though.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2024/sep/17/taliban-curbs-women-risk-polio-outbreak-vaccination-campaign-health-officials-warn) reduced by 85%. (I’m a bot)

> Afghanistan is at risk of a polio outbreak, health officials have warned, after the Taliban suspended the vaccination campaign over security fears and restrictions on women.
> The Taliban had "Temporarily suspended" polio vaccinations in Afghanistan, a health official involved with the campaign confirmed to the Guardian, because of security concerns and women's involvement in administering vaccines.
> "When the Taliban took over, I was happy because I thought now we would have the opportunity to completely remove polio from Kandahar," said one 23-year-old former female polio worker, who asked to be identified only as Farhanaz.

Oh well. Sucks to be them but it’s what they allowed.
So fucking backwards. It’s disgusting.
Fuck them. If they are that ignorant and want to refuse to listen for some illogical fear of women, let them reap what they sow.
That’s OK, they can just pray instead.
Polio has sort of resprouted since Osama Bin Laden assassination in Muslim dominated countries. And the risk of its expansion into other areas has also increased.

When leaders are so stubbornly biased that they’d rather see their country, including the gender they favour, flushed down the toilet than allow any form of equality.
Religion is a great thing. As great as jumping into a pool full of shattered glass.
Well, their god will look in to that, so whats the problem?
Taliban will eradicate Taliban soon
I read the article and it says something else. That the Taliban had an issue with door to door vaccination because they were paranoid it exposed the location of many of their leadership. So they wanted vaccinations done at the local mosques. Somewhere in there they threw the issue of “due to women” or some shit for the article title to make sense.
Why are these people so idiotic? Ill never understand. You see how the rest of the world lives, but you choose this crazy ass life?
Primitive imbeciles.
Play stupid games win stupid prizes. Hopefully they’ll eventually learn from this. Lmao yeah right who am I kidding
The problem will resolve itself soon!
Folks, I know it seems in fashion to blame the Taliban for being ignorant due to their religion, but you should keep in mind that the CIA used a fake vaccine drive to try to pinpoint where Bin Laden was in the lead up to us getting him.
They haven’t forgotten about this.
It set back global health initiatives and led to the expulsion of groups that were doing good healthcare work in Pakistan. It was also roundly condemned by basically every global health organization in the world.
Dicks do not have brains.
*Anti-vaxxers and the Taliban: more in common than you think!*
It pisses me off that we spent so much money, time, and lives on getting the taliban out of Afghanistan and getting education to girls and women just to have this shit happen. Oh, and we abandoned some of our biggest feminist allies in the region, the Kurds, who were also some of the best fighters. If anyone deserves the US support of their own state, it is the Kurds.
