Or maybe better education?

> When we showed Buzdar our undercover footage, he insisted it had been filmed before his tenure or that it had been staged. When asked what he would say to local parents watching this footage, he said: "I can say to them with certainty, with confidence, that you should get your treatment done at THQ Taunsa."

Not gonna fix this with education if they won't admit to having a problem in the first place.

or the lack of education is the cause of such denial of science.

		If he lacked the education he wouldn’t be claiming it was fake footage.

Are you claiming that Pakistani nurses and doctors are not educated on the dangers of needle reuse?

		Doctors and nurses are far from the only medical professionals who might be sticking you with a needle. In the US your phlebotomist probably has a high school degree and a certification which required a few classes over one semester at a community college and passing an exam. I doubt Pakistan has higher requirements than most US states do.

		If they aren't educated, throw the whole thing away and start over. if they are educated, and decided to share HIV needles with children, throw the whole thing away, but put them all in prison.

If it were China, the death penalty would be guaranteed for it.

Pakistanis are in a habit of executing circumspect people with needles after the US helped assassinate Bin Laden through a needle / vaccination campaign. They are highly distrustful in particular of people offering vaccines since it is a trojan horse rather than an act of charity.

FTA

> Our investigation suggests that unsafe practices are in part driven by systemic pressures including a reliance on, and cultural preference for, injections as treatment.

> Pakistan has one of the highest rates of therapeutic injections in the world, many of them medically unnecessary. Members of the general public ask for them, including for their children, and doctors happily oblige, says Mir.

Stop making shit up

Not made up. Although I would understand why people might think it's crazy enough that it would be.

Vax program is common knowledge, literally everyone knows about that, and it was an intelligence program not an execution campaign. Your conclusion is made up

		GP is using "executed" instead of "lynched." This goes back to the polio vaccination campaign started in the 1990s. Bin Laden op happened in 2010-2011. Polio workers were being chased away and lynched longer that.

		You're arguing against a straw man then. I didn't claim the "intelligence program" was an execution campaign against anyone but Bin Laden. The conclusion that it was a trojan horse, I think quite factual. I did claim Pakistanis have executed vaccine workers ("circumspect people with needles").... because as I cited they have. In part because they have been used as CIA operations.
