Lab tests show polio vaccine is not ‘Haram’

[prashantazazel]

I think porcine valves are allowed in Islam, in cases where it can be life saving... Whether Pakistan allows it or not would be another question.... Correct me if I am wrong....

 

[Green Arrow]

But who will tell this to those harami ttp

 

[Daneshmand]

Stupidity beyond belief. Many medicines and medical supplies are made from animals including from pigs. Take the example of catgut sutures which are used in almost all operations. It is made from intestines of horses and sheep with none of them having been slaughtered as per Muslim traditions (Muslim countries import them from West or China). Or take the example of Enoxaparin which is derived from intestines of pigs. Pancrelipase is another example of a pig derived medicine. Take out all medicines which come from non-Muslim sources, and you are left with nothing in modern medicine.

Well, there was a time when arabs used camel urine as a medicine. So there we go as far as the health aspects are concerned in religious perspective.

Damn I seriously thought this is a satire peace!

came here half expecting NFP. Reality is funnier though than fiction.

Oh Lord, I would actually laugh at this if I didn't have in the back of my mind how many Polio workers have died at the hands of the Taliban.

 

[saiyan0321]

Yep when u have to tell a good bunch of people that the vaccine that can eradicate a powerful and crippling disease is haram or halal, well then jahalat runs their deep. The thing is those Taliban know that it's halal but are killing then for terrorist activities

 

[kṣamā]

I seriously thought it was satirical news and read it as such, only when it started making few serious points,I was in doubt...

it's called chutiyapa

Oral polio vaccine (OPV)
By world health organization

OPV consists of a mixture of live attenuated poliovirus strains of each of the three serotypes, selected by their ability to mimic the immune response following infection with wild polioviruses, but with a significantly reduced incidence of spreading to the central nervous system. Three or more spaced doses of OPV are required to generate adequate levels of seroconversion. The action of oral polio vaccine (OPV) is two-pronged. OPV produces antibodies in the blood ('humoral' or serum immunity) to all three types of poliovirus, and in the event of infection, this protects the individual against polio paralysis by preventing the spread of poliovirus to the nervous system. OPV strains also produce a local immune response in the lining ('mucous membrane') of the intestines - the primary site for poliovirus multiplication. The antibodies produced there inhibit the multiplication of subsequent infections of 'wild' (naturally occurring) virus. This intestinal immune response to OPV is probably a reason why mass campaigns with OPV have been shown to stop person-to-person transmission of wild poliovirus. In very rare cases, the administration of OPV results in vaccine-associated paralysis associated with a reversion of the vaccine strains to the more neurovirulent profile of wild poliovirus. In a few instances, such vaccine strains have become both neurovirulent and transmissible and have resulted in infectious poliomyelitis.

Does anyone know what is the basis of considering polio vaccine haram?

 

[xyxmt]

Life saving drugs can never be haram, those who say that are complete and utter chutias an has no knowledge of the religion.

Vaccines are only preventative medicines. Polio does not kill by itself usually, it only handicaps.

Lol. What they were using it for? Erectile dysfunction? Collecting the urine must have been quite a difficult task, requiring alot of "knowledge". I really don't know what is wrong with Muslims. There must be something terribly wrong or we would not be in such a mess.

 

[xyxmt]

^^

There is really something terribly wrong with this generation of muslims, who put more emphasis on putting left foot first inside the house is haram or halal than praying or fasting, there are probably 1% of muslim who do pray 5 times, fast 30 days and pay just Zakat...but they all agree on one thing...keeping beard and pulling shalwar above ankles is must for a muslim.

once I asked a very learned and normal Muslim if I see someone stealing my shoes while I am praying what should i do, he said break your namaz and run after him if your shoes is worth more than a rupee. Allah doesnt want you to suffer financially or mentally because of prayers.
