    Before I read the article: Good! Anti vax shite is running rampant in Muslim majority countries. It’s nice to see this progress.

    After I read the article:

    Health workers are often attacked by militants who falsely claim that vaccination efforts are part of a Western plot to sterilize Muslim children.

    Since the 1990s, more than 200 polio workers and the police assigned to protect them have been killed in attacks.

    Fuck me. I’m done with this shit.
