These are not random attacks. The women were likely targeted for engaging in un-Islamic activity. A Pakistani Muslim cleric has said that polio vaccinations are un-Islamic. And in Nigeria, a Muslim cleric was arrested for playing a role in sparking the murders of polio workers.
“Afghan officials: 3 women working in polio drive killed,” by Rahim Faiez, Associated Press, March 30, 2021:
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Attackers on Tuesday gunned down three women working to administer polio vaccine in eastern Afghanistan, officials said, a day after authorities launched a new campaign against the crippling children’s disease.
The women were killed in two separate attacks in Jalalabad, the capital of Nangarhar province. Fared Khan, spokesman for Nangarhar police, said two were shot and killed in police District 7 and the third in District 4.
According to an official from the governor’s office, local media were reporting that no arrests have been made so far in the case. The official, who was not authorized to talk to the media, spoke on condition of anonymity.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but eastern Afghanistan has witnessed an increase of attacks by the Islamic State group. IS militants have declared war on Shiites and frequently target the country’s minority Hazaras.
The government on Monday launched another round of polio vaccinations across the country, aiming to inoculate 9.6 million children under 5 years of age. The polio drive came after 54 new cases of polio were reported in 2020, the highest number on record since the fall of the Taliban in 2001….

Polio is caused by an evil Jinn, therefore vaccines are not allowed. The women killed were most likely possessed by this Jinn.
Hoi Polloi says
And yet, we have only that stream of articles in the MSM about evangelicals being the vax problem, the reason we can’t get out of lockdown, the anti-science loons. (Not my words; theirs.) Not a word about any of this.
wpm says
Of course not a word about this, Islam is the magic pet idolatry of the left ,senile Biden walking around with two mask over his face after getting the vaccine two months ago .The FBI saying the greatest threat to America is” far right white supremist ” as black jihadist run over police at the capital. The shooting yesterday in Maryland by a 38 year old enlist Navy medic will turn out to be a Moslem also I am willing to bet his facebook and tweeter accounts are already deleted by our internet overlords. His name is Fantahun Girma Woldesenbit motive unknown married with two kids. Nothing to see here ,move along, get ready for your social report card tied into your smart phone for your “own safety and good of society as a whole”.
Hoi Polloi says
I’ve been waiting for a massive display by the Pelosi cabal where they honor the officer who died defending them against NOI. When will he lie in state?
Keith O says
Hoi Polloi, As they say, DON”T HOLD YOUR BREATH.
The cop wasn’t a black career criminal with enough drugs in his system to kill three men. And of course a cop defending them should have been proud to give his life for such wonderful beacons of democracy.

You people are stupid. If vaccines work so well just get yours and stfu. Why do I need to get one for your weak scared ass if yours works? Also if I’m going to die from not following your religion of science, wouldn’t that be a good thing for your religion of science?
Hoi Polloi says
Well, Rogue, I’m uncertain as to what has you so upset. I’m merely nothing the difference in the way the media is covering Islam versus Christianity in their vaccine responses. I am pretty certain that no one here is trying to convert you, so relax.
Hoi Polloi says
*noting

Rouge1 seems to be missing the point here.
Even if he believes that the polioo vaccine has nothing to do with polio suddenly have ceased to be a scourge–save in places like Pakistan where many are not vaccinated–is he still fine with Muslims slaughtering health care workers?
Given the fact that he has said *nothing* critcial of this atrocity, one supposes so. *Ugh*.

Headline should say Afghanistan instead of Pakistan: I doubt that there is anyone left in Pakistan who dares administer polio vaccines

Fixed, Infidel.

Another example why young muslims will continue to exit “the religion of peace. “

Pakistan: Muslims murder three women working to administer polio vaccine
……………
Hideous–these *poor women*.
But as noted Muslims have murdered doctors and nurses trying to protect children many times.
God, I hate Islam.
