Measles Outbreak?

I am sure you have all heard on the news that there has been an outbreak of measles.

Papers, Schools, Hv, Drs are saying if you or your child haven't had the vaccine(s) now would be a good time to get it done.

I cant help but think though that the parents who haven't and wont get their child vaccinated are putting their children at risk.

Aibu to think that its just bloody selfish and very daring to play with their own childs life?

Great - you're not against more research? So how exactly do you disagree with Andrew Wakefield.

Your belief that enough research exists is based on nothing - except the fact that you've been told so. Quite frankly, you have absolutely no idea at all. None.

Shame though, if all you want is more research why is this thread filled with anti-vax sentiment, denial that vaccines have had a HUGE impact on killer diseases worldwide, and big- pharma conspiracy???

Er - it's not. You are getting hysterical and imagining things.

curly, the uptake for the smallpox vaccine fell below 50% in the early 20th century

Sure silver. Hope it's a while though!

Curly, you should have apologised. You really should.
