Well done, you f*cking morons with your whole 'we'd much rather see dead children than non neuro-typical ones' stance' based on false claims, astonishingly bad, unethical practices and corrupt backers encouraging you publish so as to make a rival product look better.
Vaccinate your kids, people.

The anti-vax movement have a lot to answer for. It's one thing believing something but through their actions they have lowed the herd immunity that vacinations bring and thus have directly affected other peoples lives.
We had an email the other day about someone getting measles at work and to be aware.
It's ridiculous, easy access to poor information and the ease at which people can promote their agendas nowadays has unfortunately not helped.

The culture of 'it's my opinion, I'm entitled to it' has a LOT to answer for. You are of course, allowed your won opinion. Trouble is, you're not allowed your own facts. Which is what has happened with the anti-vaxx movement.

As my sister, a special needs teacher with many years of specialisation in the autistic spectrum, pointed out at the time, this is a real case of correlation being presented as causation. The symptoms of these conditions begin to manifest (and always have) at an age which happens to be not long after the MMR jab. That is the only link. |  |

This is a great point. It's easy for many people to confuse correlation and causation and it's unfortunate.

I was going to say say aah aah aah yeah but it doesn't differentiate between cheddar and brie, then I saw the mozzarella one.
Thanks, best laugh I have had in a while. |  |

People need to understand the difference between 'associated with' and 'a cause of'. | |

Surely the answer is if you refuse the anti-vaccination then if you catch it in the future the NHS doesn't pay for you're treatment, you do (or in the case of children the parents pay). |  | | |

That still leaves causers of infection wandering around capable of passing on a virus to those yet to be innoculated. In times past people were taken to court when they did not comply with health regulations. | |

It's a dereliction of social responsibility.
The vaccines shouldn't be optional. There is no link to autism, that was just very bad science.
From wiki:
An investigation by journalist Brian Deer found that Andrew Wakefield, the author of the original research paper linking the vaccine to autism, had multiple undeclared conflicts of interest,[9][10] had manipulated evidence,[11] and had broken other ethical codes. The Lancet paper was partially retracted in 2004, and fully retracted in 2010, when Lancet's editor-in-chief Richard Horton described it as "utterly false" and said that the journal had been "deceived".

I dated a woman whose daughter was on the autistic spectrum who was convinced vaccines were responsible due to Wakefield and the idiotic media reporting at the time. No amount of evidence would change her view point and I was told that I didn't understand... |  | | |
