Vaccination death

JNO's just posted in CB but it probably deserves more prominence

The Girl who sadly died after the Cerviacal cancer jab had a malignant tumour affecting her heart and lungs.

Such a tragic death and my heart goes out to her family. I hope that this will allay fears about the vaccine although there are always risks with any type of "jab".

There is a sad irony where her death from one cancer brought up worries about the protection from another.

I hope the media will give this enough prominance. Immunization has brough us so much

There are only 4 countries no where Polio still exists

This sort of thing used to be common place in the UK

And I know people who say "We shouldn't vacinate, we need to build up immunity to these things"

I feel they cannot understand Darwinian selection

I feel for her family, what a tragedy. We must though weigh up the pros and cons, and I am sure more lives will be saved than lost by the vaccination.
