If you think important I will divert manpower to it immediately . My initial thoughts, however, are as follows : Pakistan is vulnerable to polio due to a number of factors including poor sanitation, unclean water, weak public/health services, inhospitable terrain in some areas, the unstable security situation (particularly in border regions), misinformation and suspicion of anything foreign. Because of uncontrolled borders and close kinship ties, there is always the danger of a spread to Afghanistan. Through our very personal contacts in Pakistan — including in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) — I was able to gauge some of the past reaction to the polio eradication campaign. It has been characterized by some of its critics as a plot to sterilize girls and to make boys impotent. It is said to be against Islam because some of the inoculations use attenuated ("live") vaccines. Foreign health workers (even before the capture of Osama bin Laden) are regarded as spies, while local NGOs are labelled as slaves of spies. The campaign has also been instrumentalized by some armed groups (allegedly close to the security services) that say "we'll stop the attacks on health workers if you stop the drone attacks".
