Revenge Poisoning or Something Else?

By now you must be familiar with the increasing number of Iranian schoolgirls getting sick

And you should obviously be aware of the ‘Women, Life, Freedom’ protests and Iran's continuous attempts to quiet down their female population.

Now the first thought that comes to anyone's mind after hearing that school girls are getting sick that too in batches mind goes to it being a government operation.

We are here to decode the recent incidents.

Yes, it is a fact that school girls are being admitted, but it hasn't been said or proven that the cause is poison. 

The facts of this are plain and simple. Girl schools have reported masses of health issues arising since November, but so have boy schools. 

Although the number of schoolboys getting sick is a handful compared to the thousands of girls being hospitalized.

This is among the main reason people all over the world are inclined to believe it is poisoning, and given the whole ‘Women, Life, Freedom’ protests people don't put poisoning young children past the Iranian government.

BBC reported that Professor Simon Wessely, a psychiatrist, and epidemiologist at King's College London stated that key factors have led him to believe that the illness was caused by Mass sociogenic illness rather than a chain of poisoning. 

School girls have also reported having smelled foul smells like rotten tomatoes or eggs. This made people believe that it was poison gas that was released by the government but after taking a closer look the smell may be from poorly made tear gas which were used during the various protests that took place in Iran.

The reason experts have suggested it not being poisonous gas is the fact that if it were children wouldn't be able to get better in hours or a matter of a day, which is the case for many kids who got sick. 

In the past week, Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi had instructed Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi to get to the bottom of this problem. But if we have learned anything from similar cases in the occupied West Bank or Afghanistan, we know that no one ever gets to the bottom, of such issues.
