Polio still runs riot in Pakistan and a couple of other countries. Attempts at vaccinating against it in parts of Pakistan have met with severe problems, mostly armed attacks against the vaccination teams! That sure beats the situation here with parents making bad decisions due to published pseudo-science and rhetoric.

Outbreaks of TB and measles in the western world have been blamed on immigrants, but there seems to be no move to return to mass vaccination of our population, or the vaccination of immigrants on entry. But other people think that it's people returning from overseas holidays that are the carriers, or even travellers just transitting.

Quarantine time again?
