Terrorists bombed a vaccination site, injuring 23, including children. Vans transporting polio staff have been targeted. Are these anti-vax conspiracy theorists? Violence in no form is tolerable, but there is a reason that vaccinators are being hunted down, and it stems back to the early 2010s when the CIA used a vaccination program to mask an espionage program.
