I wonder if this was an intentional effect of the Islamic jihad against the vaccines? These poor kids are being infected and killed just to enrage the people against the West. Poor New Zealand has tried to be a purely neutral in the wars around the world and is still getting hit. This just underscores the importance of vaccines and health checks.
NBC Weapons: Islamic Bio Weapon Hits New Zealand: "Al Qaeda has not commented on their latest success at biological warfare. Recently, efforts by Islamic radicals in Pakistan and Nigeria caused polio to show up in New Zealand, a nation where a quarter of the children are not vaccinated against polio (which has not been seen in the country for decades.) This is a common pattern in many Western nations, because of a growing desire among many parents to avoid vaccinations, in response to rumors of side effects.
The immediate cause of it all was a passenger on a flight from Pakistan into Australia, who was later found to have polio. The rush is on to contact fellow passengers, including those who flew on to New Zealand, and vaccinate those who need it. Until this done, there could be another outbreak of polio in New Zealand. Australia has a much higher percentage of its population immunized against polio, so the presense of infected people is much less of a threat."
