Re: MMR Jab
People seem to assume that you have to be a chav to deny a child the right to the MMR jab.
I have said it before in other threads...if the government were so concerned about protecting children, then they would make the single jabs freely available for those parents who have concerns....that they don't suggests to me that perhaps there is a 'money' thing going on between the producers of the vaccine and the government...and that has to be a worry.
Isn't this a kind of health fascism....do this for your children or else?
And if we go down this slippery slope, how long will it be before some other hammer is wielded by government to get their own way.
What happened to the parents right to a reasoned choice?
If I were a parent of a young baby, and there was the remotest chance that a vaccination would cause a lifelong disability, then I would not take that risk...whatever the government said.
