The experimental Polio Vaccine in Gaza – bioweapon or trusted roll-out?

It’s “the same old playbook, where a war or crisis is used to roll out a new, minimally tested vaccine…

Watch: Experimental Polio Vaccine Rolled Out to Hundreds of Thousands of Children in Gaza

… The campaign, continuing today in southern Gaza, is set to conclude next week in northern Gaza. It will target about 640,000 children. Israel and Hamas agreed to a daily eight-hour ceasefire in the places where the vaccines are being administered, Reuters reported …
… Because the oral vaccine doesn’t need refrigeration and doesn’t need to be administered by professional healthcare providers, it’s easier to use it for mass vaccination campaigns, (Dr Suzanne) Humphries said.
However, the oral vaccine also is responsible for creating the poliovirus now circulating and infecting hundreds of people globally each year …
… The nOPV2 vaccine is genetically modified to prevent it from mutating and regaining virulence. It is not fully licensed but was granted an emergency use listing by the WHO in 2023. …
Humphries said:

“Interestingly, we’re going to stop a war that has had absolutely no regard for children whatsoever. Israel is all of a sudden humanitarian and is going to stop a war because the U.N. and the World Health Organization asked them to, so they can go in and save all these children that have been potentially infected by a vaccine-derived poliovirus, by giving them a new genetically modified oral polio vaccine that has never been fully tested, that is released on emergency use.
“And most of the testing early on was done on people who are already fully vaccinated so that their chances of having a mutation are less because of that.”

Humphries said that, although the 10-month-old baby is partially paralyzed, he will likely recover the use of his limb. Most people who get polio recover the use of their limbs within 60 days, she said.

well, I guess the Canadians now are starting to get a bit nervous and scared, like the Brits, that they might be indicted by the ICC sooner or later,
for their complicity in all the israeli war crimes and ethnic cleansing, etc etc, which Canada has supported for years

Just now, Canada’s foreign minister @melaniejoly claims to have suspended ~30 existing arms permits to Israel over the summer, and says her government is opposed to the US plan to send 50,000 Quebec-made mortars to Israel. To avert Canada’s complicit in genocide, we need to see them step up to cancel ALL permits & proactively block the transfer of any weapons from reaching Israel.

With the media focused on the 100 Israeli hostages, it pays far less attention to over 20,000 Palestinian hostages/prisoners including women and children seized from the West Bank and Gaza and imprisoned indefinitely without charges.
The Israeli ministry in charge of prisons has asked the military not to keep sending them such prisoners because of serious overcrowding of prison facilities. Why the double standard of media and Biden Administration/ Congressional attention or is that a rhetorical question? -R
