MMR - Dispatches C4
Just about to start.
Seeing as there's quite a few new parents on here, thought I'd let you know

Have to say I watched it, and wasn't impressed.
The reporting was ego biassed, to say the least. Having said that, even taking the presentation with a pinch of salt - it certainly seems this whole scare is/was based on a now disproven thesis. Disproven by the team headed by the originator of the thesis, who had a vested interest in another company's single shot measles innoculation.
Unfortunately this info could have been broadcast in 5 mins - the other 55 mins was padded out with irrelevent material biassed to the reporters cause.

Got the gist of it about 3 mins in tbh... though it's more important than ever to get your child immunised now the vaccination rates are so low.
Measles isn't pretty or trivial.

Just watched it and thought, right, the little one can have the triple jab next week (as it is now due). This was somewhat based on Wakefield's survey of based on a miniscule 12, the pregnant goat colostrum vaccine thing, the vested interest issues but primarily his reaction when he was doorstepped. He looked guilty as sin and legged it within a nanosecond.
Missus then found a website with his side of the story, and although not very convincing, he confuses me again.
Ohh to have the facts and to be able to trust those supplying the facts...

PS reporter was a **** as was the EP; pics of a dead child and the banal 'how did the last few hours feel' questions were absurd and pathetically digging at some emotive angle when none was needed. WE NEED F'IN FACTS!

Have to say ajm that I'm not often moved to make comment in these things & must really bow down low in your presence
So much so that I feel obligated to rename you the same as the person I hold in greatest esteem - Rodney from "Only Fools"...
& we all know his nickname...

How can I answer the accusation if you will not qualify your argument?...
