There is a small area in Nigeria where the religious clerics have persuade their adherents not to be immunized against polio. It is possible at present to eliminate polio completely if immunization is total. This one small area threatens the entire world with its delusions. It may seem extreme, but it seems to me that it would greatly benefit the world if this section were put under total quarantine until they agree to be immunized.

I think that's what they want, to be isolated from the rest of the world.

Recent evaluations of the polio problem has vindicated the fear that the Nigerian trouble spot would act as a nucleus of re-infection. Polio has now re-spread to several countries beyond Nigeria.
