Letters: Fighting polio in Pakistan

Re “Polio may win this battle,” June 27

Members of America’s anti-vaccine movement now have like-minded allies in Pakistan’s hard-line Taliban militants.

But the conspiracy theory that members of the Pakistani Taliban based their decision on to end polio vaccines — that the CIA used a phony immunization program for spying — has some basis in fact. No one can say the same about the conspiracy theories offered in our country.
