I agree about not being harmed, but this isn’t just vaccine ignorance.

Most of Pakistan is aware by now that the CIA used vaccination as a cover while seeking bin Laden. Law of unintended consequences now applies: all vaccinators are viewed with suspicion.

Said consequences were unintended, but they were foreseen and accepted. Osama bin Laden had to die, and if nailing him ends up means dozens of Pakistanis suffering from polio, then frankly that can be accepted as collateral damage.

That does sound nasty, and it is nasty. But its also The Way It Is.
