On Tuesday, two women were shot while administering Polio
vaccines in the village of Bedh Der, Pakistan. Two men on a motorbike shot at
the women. One woman was killed, while the other woman was injured. In
Pakistan, Polio still exists. Many of the people are skeptical of vaccines
after they had been used to collect DNA from people close to Osama bin Laden. After
this event, the Taliban banned Polio vaccinations for children. Although the
Taliban has had connections with the Polio vaccines before, there has been no
link to this case as of yet.
