More than 8 death cases of a new mysteries disease in al-Hodeidah governorate are currently being investigated. The Ministry of Health of Saudi Arabia called all its citizen in Jazan, Asir, and Najran to take precaution for the disease in returning from Yemen and to be wary of those entering illegally into Saudi Arabia. Abdul-Karim Ras’e, Minister of Public Health and Population suggested the implementation of the coordination between the relevant sectors to provide outreach and education to cope with infectious diseases and prevention. SEYAJ for Childhood Protection emphasized that this mysteries epidemic is classified by unidentified fever that is sweeping the al-Zahra region in the province of Hodeidah. SEYAJ appealed to authorities in the Ministry of Public Health and Population, National Population Council and the local council in Hodeidah Governorate and the Directorate of al-Zahra to quickly identify the epidemic and the majority of the disease victims are children, and to provide urgent assistance for the affected people.

Don't worry. I'm sure they created a vaccine at the same time they created the problem.

This is frighteningly similar to the way The Last Enemy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Enemy_%28TV_series%29), a 2008 BBC TV series, began.

This reminds me of when my wife took our newborn to our Doctor for her 1st check up and the Doctor was telling my wife about the schedule of the babies shots and my wife said " there will be no shots for my daughter"
The doctor said and I quote:" Can I tell you that you are crazy"

Now i must digress and mention my wife had at this point done about 2 years of research into vaccinations and came fully prepared for this event.
After about a 20 minute lecture from my wife about everything from the amount of increase over the last 20 years on vaccinations, a complete list of the ingredients of the shots, the side affects and the links to diseases attributed to vaccinations ect ect ect, The doctor had no more to say and something to think about :p
