In Wales, North east England, there is an out break of measles, in fact it is an epidemic,.... why did these people not get there children immunised? i dont get it! When we have our children don't we have a moral duty to care, nurture and protect our littles ones.... when my son was born in 2005 there was a controversal rumour going round spead by the general public,fed by some off the cuff remark by a leading Dr, sorry cannot recall is name but it caused worry and scare mongering,,,, it was said that the MMr jab (measles,mumps and rhubella) was a contribution to autism in children who received the jab, so many parents were reluctant for there children to recieve the jab,well the degree of fact in the matter was unfounded. My son had the jab aged 3,he is now 8 he has been diagnosed with autism, but i do not in any way shape or form the MMr jab contributed to this, no way..... so what am trying to say is for children who have not had this jab it is a very serious and not very nice illness and now the consequense of not immunising there children has brought on an epidemic, tut tut...........
