The World Health Organization (WHO) said Thursday that Israel has agreed to limited pauses in its bombardment of Gaza in certain areas to allow the vaccination of children for polio, which has returned to the Strip due to the Israeli siege.
Rik Peeperkorn, the WHO’s representative for the West Bank and Gaza, said the vaccinations would start in central Gaza on Sunday, where, according to the agreement, there will be a three-day pause in Israeli military attacks.
An Israeli official said the pauses will only take place while children are being vaccinated, which the official said is expected to take seven hours per day. That means outside of that time, Israel’s onslaught will continue as usual.
After central Gaza, the vaccination campaign will then move to southern Gaza, where there will be another three-day pause, and then to the north for the final three-day pause.
Peeperkorn said the goal is to vaccinate 640,000 children under the age of ten, but he’s not sure if a limited pause would be enough. Medical officials have been calling for a full humanitarian ceasefire to administer the vaccines. “I’m not going to say this is the ideal way forward. But this is a workable way forward,” Peeperkorn said.
Hamas said it supported the vaccine drive and was “ready to cooperate with international organizations to secure the campaign.”
The push for the vaccinations came after a 10-month-old boy who developed paralysis in his left leg became the first confirmed case of polio in Gaza. According to the WHO, two other children have been paralyzed by polio. For each case of paralysis, there are likely hundreds of others who have been infected.
Difficult to trust them when the pier was used as a trojan horse?
I wouldn't believe this so called Limited Pause for even One Second…!
Or that the vaccines are legit? Remember the Israelis using food aid to shoot the starving?
I hate to be that cynical ED but….
… Or the vaccine itself is contaminated with killer viruses…!
That is just plain nuts.
Not for Israel… It isn't…!
Actually, the (oral) polio vaccine itself, is the source of the polio outbreak now.
What do we know about the poliovirus circulating in Gaza?
It’s not the wild poliovirus but one spawned by a vaccine.
Known as vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2, the virus is every bit as dangerous as the wild virus, however. These variant viruses emerge in areas where vaccination rates are low, allowing the live, weakened virus used in the oral polio vaccine (OPV) to pass from child to child and regain its ability to spread and paralyze.

Some historical background:
Vaccine-derived polio spreads in Africa after defeat of wild virus
This article is more than 3 years old
Fresh cases of disease linked to oral vaccine seen in Sudan, following outbreak in Chad
….At issue is the fact that the oral polio vaccine – preferred in some places because of its ease of delivery and the lack of need for sterile syringes – uses an attenuated or weakened version of polio.
When a child receives the oral vaccine, the weakened virus replicates in the intestine, encouraging the production of antibodies, and can be present in excreta. In an area where there are high enough levels of immunity in the population, this usually does not present a problem, even if sanitation is poor.
But in areas where there is both poor sanitation and a lack of general immunisation the virus can survive and circulate for months, mutating over time until it poses the same risk of paralysis-causing disease as wild polio.
Use of the oral polio vaccine was discontinued in the UK in 2004 and the US in 2000, and the UN agency advises that the use of the oral vaccine should be discontinued after polio is judged to be eradicated because of the risk of vaccine-derived outbreaks.

SOOOO DE-MONETISED.
FDA gonna drone-strike your house & ban you from The Twitter.
If only a very small part of the population gets the oral vaccine again, it will risk spread of virus.
soooo de-monetised.
Safe and effective, though.
I don't know that Society is at a point yet where anyone is allowed to question any vaccine for any reason.
Your Disqus account might get de-monetised…!
It’s not monetized, so…
Something tells me problems will ensue and this won't happen in fact.
Seems I heard that one before.
Why vaccinate them? Vaccinate them then starve and bomb them? Don't tell me you're concerned about them getting Polio. This is BS. This is exactly what "$hitting Moral Superiority" (SMS) on our face looks like. You're not concerned even when you see Israelis bulldoze bodies into the Gaza dirt.
Like feeding some people because it's lunchtime and they're hungry… But right after lunch kill them with food still in their stomach…! It makes sense to idiot WHO which of course is a west organization supporting the genocide…!
Or Fentanyl. But I think they may also be doing that because they prefer to see them suffer while their bodies explode. Polio doesn’t give them enough satisfaction.
Polio DOES cause paralysis, which makes amputations less painful.
Dude! You reminded me of my “Israel is so nice” Shtick. Should I bring it back?
Don’t be like Disney and keep your classics in a vault for years – got gold, bring gold !!
You are nice, Uncle. But Israel is nicer. Israel vaccinates children before genociding them.
The vaccination is the genocide…!
Some comedian, it escapes me who, mentioned years ago that they use an alcohol prep before inserting the needle for the chemical death penalty. Like, you’re intentionally killing the guy, but making sure he doesn’t get an infection?
Yesss! That is a good comparison. I don’t remember who that was either! 😂
If the person got a stay of execution after insertion of the needle and got an infection, he could sue the state. (see article I posted above)
Lily, come on.
In today's insane mentality, the state would even let the convict sue. Never underestimate the level of psychosis that has now engulfed the state.
They do the prep right at the point of needle insertion.
I can tell you why.
Israeli children are exactly as human as Palestinian children – and even if the ASI government won't admit this, they at least know that polio makes no social distinctions between humans.
So immunizing "them" is only just to protect "us".
Israel doesn't mind being called out for their genocide and apartheid. But even they fear the label of "anti-Vaxxer."
😆
No joke. Once they've killed the virus, they'll kill the children. They're only interest is to keep it from spreading into the human population.
Well, this seems like some good news?….I might be concerned a bit if the shots are legit?…
Why would the shots not be legit? Israel is not giving the shots. The IDF is just making it safter for health care workers to do their job and the protect the children. Now if Hamas would chose to not build forts under civilians areas and quite using schools as stagging points that would also protect the children.
Gaza is a civilian area.
You think Hamas can (or would be dumb enough to build) an open-air naval base or m.f.-ing Fort Bragg ?
They got room in the postage-stamp that the ASI hasn't yet forced them off ?
Lard tunderin', Major Burns – is your head really so far up your Zionist apologist a$$ that you constantly taste yesterday's lunch ???
Israeli military sites are completely embedded in and under civilian areas of places like Tel Aviv. I'd be willing to bet a dollar or two that when real missiles start raining on Tel Aviv and those firing them say Israel should stop using civilians as human shields, the .00001% of people in the world still supporting Israel will not accept that as a legitimate argument.
I POSTED THIS THREE DAYS AGO, BUT IT SHOULD BE READ AGAIN. THIS VACCINATION THING CAN BE EVEN MORE SINISTER THAN THE ARTICLE IMPLIES.
Vaccination Campaign in Gaza: Polio Eradication or Transition to Bio-Warfare? –By Mike Whitney https://muckrack.com/mike-whitney/articles Read the entire article there.
This is seriously creepy.
Over a million doses of polio vaccine have been shipped to Israel in preparation for a mass vaccination campaign in Gaza. The vaccines are an emergency response to the first confirmed case of polio reported in Gaza last month. So, the UN is unable to distribute humanitarian aid to the Palestinians, but they are charging ahead with a mass vaccination campaign?
Doesn’t that sound a bit strange? Keep in mind, the Israelis have been preventing food, water and medicine from entering Gaza for months which has led to mass starvation and a sharp uptick in preventable diseases. But now we are expected to believe that they care about the physical well-being of the people they have been bombing to smithereens for the last 10 months? The campaign is going to be “conducted in coordination” with that great humanitarian organization, the Israeli Defense Forces. Netanyahu would never agree to a humanitarian pause unless it helped to advance his own political agenda, which is the total expulsion of the native population. That’s the only reason Bibi would change his policy. Which is why we suspect that there is more here than meets the eye.
Would it surprise you to know that vaccines have been used in Africa, Nicaragua, Mexico and the Philippines as anti-fertility drugs? Would it shock you to know that western elites have used vaccine campaigns to target people who didn’t realize that they were being used as lab rats in a nefarious eugenics experiment?
Rik Peeperkorn, the WHO’s representative for the West Bank and Gaza, said the vaccinations would start in central Gaza on Sunday, where, according to the agreement, there will be a three-day pause in Israeli military attacks.
An Israeli official said the pauses will only take place while children are being vaccinated, which the official said is expected to take seven hours per day. That means outside of that time, Israel’s onslaught will continue as usual.
So, it's a 7 hour pause on 3 separate days. And I'd imagine some sick fuck has a stopwatch to make sure they don't go one second past that 7 hours.
If the pauses take place I doubt it'll be fully abided by Israel…! They break it, make up a story and blame it on Hamas…!
Allowing children to get vaccinated. Wow. The Israel is committing "genocide" group will come up with some crazy ideas on why Israel is doing this. Of course the obvious answer that it is not a genocidal war.
I figured out your programming.
Like you, it's very BASIC.
10 READ facts
20 IF facts=israel.guilt GOTO 50
30 IF facts=palestinian.victim GOTO 70
40 ELSEIF GOTO 90
50 PRINT "Hamas is to blame !"
60 GOTO 100
70 PRINT "It's not genocide 'cause I say so !"
80 GOTO 100
90 PRINT "But look at Oct 7th !!!"
100 IGNORE evidence
110 END
That pretty much sums it up…! I would add the following:
35 IF facts=Israeli.victim GOTO 95
….
95 PRINT "Israel has the right to defend itself disproportionally"
LATEST: the crime minister denies the pauses reaffirms my previous thoughts…!
