36 children have died from an allegedly contaminated measles vaccine administered to civilians in the rebel-held areas of the Idlib Governate. According to a source, up-to 8 villages in the Idlib Governate are believed to have been given these contaminated vaccines, leading many parents in the area to fear for their children’s health. Sources believe that the majority of vaccinations were administered to children in the district of Ma’arat Nu’man – an area under siege by the Syrian Arab Army.

Despite the Syrian Opposition’s claim that the vaccines were contaminated; civilians in Idlib believe that the vaccines had expired before distribution. The Syrian Opposition health officials stated that they would not give out an expired vaccine and that they believe the Syrian Government is behind the contamination. No evidence has been given to prove this allegation true – the debacle is currently under investigation.

Be Civil

This is a Civilized Place for Public Discussion

Please treat this discussion with the same respect you would a public park. We, too, are a shared community resource — a place to share skills, knowledge and interests through ongoing conversation.

These are not hard and fast rules, merely guidelines to aid the human judgment of our community and keep this a clean and well-lighted place for civilized public discourse.

Make it better

Improve the Discussion

Help us make this a great place for discussion by always working to improve the discussion in some way, however small. If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later.

The topics discussed here matter to us, and we want you to act as if they matter to you, too. Be respectful of the topics and the people discussing them, even if you disagree with some of what is being said.

Now the hard part!

Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree

You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid:

  • Name-calling
  • Ad hominem attacks
  • Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content
  • Knee-jerk contradiction

Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.
