When doctors asked the problem they said our children are not feeling healthy after polio drops, doctors alerted the whole city's hospitals, specialists were called and checked up children.

After a few minutes of check-ups by doctors, they did not find any symptoms in children of any unhealthy activity.

The rumors were spread in all local districts and cities, that polio drops are causing heartburn, lose stomach motion, pain, and vomit.

Some people claimed that they have given the injections to children orally, while some made a different fuss that vaccines were expired.

Someone on social media spread the false flags against the Polio campaign, which spread very quickly, many people rushed to hospitals without any confirmation.

The local administration of hospitals called a press conference and assured everyone that no symptoms of any disease or infection diagnosed, all children are healthy.

This is not the first time in Pakistan, many attempts were taken against Polio, most of the people who are spreading rumors belongs to Islamic Madrassas, scholars and Afghan-citizens in Pakistan are also working under the supervision of terrorists.

Afghans are spreading such news on social media to cause panic, fear, and propaganda.

Extremist scholars are creating myths against the Polio drops that drops interfere with children DNA, bring changes to their habits which are totally false. Still, no one has ever proved the theory against Polio vaccines.
