The entirely discredited scare story of a decade ago still seems to have an influence. According to the link, in some areas, vaccination has fallen to less than 80%.

Why are people not taking the advice of health visitors and their GPs ? Its a no brainer to me !

The problem with that, mushroom, is that MMR is at the very least not the only cause of autism. So not taking the jab not only leaves the child in question still at risk of developing autism anyway, but also at risk of still catching those diseases that, if not always fatal, are certainly very dangerous. It's just a bad risk assessment to refuse the MMR jab on those...

Mikey, //If I were to seek a second opinion, it would be with another Doctor, not the pages of popular newspapers or daft daytime "Sofa" TV programs. //

Who does that?

You have completely ignored the link I provided, preferring instead to stick with a Wiki page that says what you want to hear. To save you the trouble of reading the whole - you clearly don't want to - here is an extract.

//In a recently published December 13, 2012 vaccine court ruling, hundreds of thousands of dollars were awarded to Ryan Mojabi, [i] whose parents described how “MMR vaccinations,” caused a “severe and debilitating injury to his brain, diagnosed as Autism Spectrum Disorder (‘ASD’).” Later the same month, the government suffered a second major defeat when young Emily Moller from Houston won compensation following vaccine-related brain injury that, once again, involved MMR and resulted in autism. The cases follow similar successful petitions in the Italian and US courts (including Hannah Poling [ii], Bailey Banks [iii], Misty Hyatt [iv], Kienan Freeman [v], Valentino Bocca [vi], and Julia Grimes [vii]) in which the governments conceded or the court ruled that vaccines had caused brain injury. In turn, this injury led to an ASD diagnosis. MMR vaccine was the common denominator in these cases. //
naomi24: Well said. Our very own DWP Vaccine Damage Payment Unit has paid out to children who have suffered severe damage following vaccines. Some of these children have died from the injuries they have suffered.
joncavo, thank you.
I don't think that the government's attitude of "YOU WILL have the combined vaccine, IT IS safe because we know best" combined with Tony Blair's refusal to say what decision he had made for his children, helped at all.
So would those who say its irresponsible not to vaccinate against common childhood diseases have the same attitude towards the flu jab? Are people who choose not to have the flu jab destroying herd immunity?
Question Author
The answer to your last question Retrochic is no.
mikey What is the difference between refusing a flu jab and refusing an MMR jab for your child?
efficacy and death rate retro . .


MMR works and does not cause autism ( whether or not some parents firmly believe it does ) and prevents death from Measles

and erm flu doesnt - last one - the CMO bought 50m doses and then admitted it didnt work
The vaccine manufacturers produce information sheets which list the adverse reactions. Health professionals will tell parents about the minor events - rashes, slight temperature changes stating that these are very common. They will sometimes also explain about the possibility of fever fits and blood platelet problems also listed in the sheets. Sometimes they will even mention the possibility of encephalitis which is listed as 'rarely reported'. This takes me back to my earlier posts when I mentioned about health professionals failing to report all suspected reactions and the inadequate monitoring and failure to follow up to ensure all have fully recovered.
Encephalopathy, encephalitis - inflammation of the brain- can lead to a range of long term disabilities including loss of speech and communication, loss of understanding, behaviour changes, seizures, sleep problems etc. When health professionals state that MMR does not cause autism they may be right, vaccine damage may be the better term.
