Its actually a shame that we needed a cleric to convince people about the benefits of vaccination. That khateeb didn't have a divine revelation about vaccines. He also has been told about this by doctors. Its simply disturbing that our people choose to trust a hardly matric pass cleric more than an MBBS(minimum qualification) doctor.
Just wondering if the Maulana did his own laboratory analysis of the polio drops or is he just saying what he is told to.
Read the following article on how the polio vaccine has increased 12 fold the cases of deadly paralysis (non-polio acute flaccid paralysis (NPAFP)) in India. The educated of our society must educate those who are not. By the way, in our family we are not vaccinating our children, just making sure they eat healthy.
