A few of my friends have been sending me the details of One Click. One click has some interesting stories. Sadly, most of them make me ashamed to have ever advocated for patient kind. From my end though - my view is that those who suffer most, say the least. I also think that One Click reflects the worst in human kind in general. I shouldn't really say this but I always believe those who campaign endlessly on vaccines and related issues are rather divorced from the real issues that affect real people in dire straits.
The movement of craziness in complaints, litigation, Andrew Wakefield is given this artificial importance. Everyone knows that Measles is increasing as MMR uptake is slow now. Everyone knows that the campaign on government conspiracy, medical fraternity conspiracy is actually destructive to those who do not have access to the right information and don't know where to turn.
The vaccine debate seems to take over people's minds, lives and days. I think the importance of vaccines is actually lost within these large debates. The debates are often misguided, emotive, become illogical and begin to overtake any rational perspective. Before everyone jumps up and down, I have read most of what there is to read on the MMR controversy. I have also read the complaint made to the GMC against a large number of doctors. The complaint is badly formatted, badly researched and I would be surprised if it went past first base at the GMC. This is not to question the content or its merits but more of an administrative observation. No one has to be medical to sit and read. The trouble with most of these campaign groups is no one takes the time to sit and read. The complaint is structured like this " Hey this what we think GMC, now fit it to your guidance". And despite the fact the GMC are not my favourite people, I can see their brains tweeting away and wondering why no one read the GMC's guidance on their own website.
In summary, we are actually looking at a measles epidemic. Western Europe took a long time to eradicate that. It is rather similar to the disaster within child protection. Both created by the impact of those who have nothing much to do apart from shout from the rooftops. Much like the disaster created in child protection [ or lack of], the measles epidemic will become uncontrolled. By then the camp against vaccines will not take the blame nor will it solve the situation. Currently, none of them take any responsibility for the potential fatalities of any children who do contract measles.
So the question should be asked, should campaign groups with a tunnel vision objective be allowed to affect public health?
It is a great shame that these campaign groups do not direct themselves to UK's high mortality rate - the highest in Europe. It is a shame that these campaign groups do not apply their energies to creating a better health system fit for public consumption. Then that is of course one of the fads of this country - conspiracies on vaccines demands more attention than the more serious health problems in this country. The death rate in UK hospitals is higher than the death rate in Iraq but yet there are protests about Iraq. The death rate in UK hospitals is higher than the mortality rate in Gaza, yet people protest about Gaza. No one though has yet protested about the stark reality that the UK has one of the highest mortality rates in Europe.

OneClick has one thing right, http://www.theoneclickgroup.co.uk/news.php?start=2520&end=2540&view=yes&id=3134#newspost
Shame that is the only thing ;-)
Hi
Anyone thought about leaving out measles vaccines until around 2 years of age?
Anyone ever thought of injecting the single vaccine only?
Anyone thought of injecting for the serious illnesses only one at a time with a month or more between them?
Anyone thought of removing thimerosal from vaccines?
Anyone thought that 3 000 mums in prison might be there because the vaccine killed their child? Sally Clark, Donna Anthony, Angela Cannings, Alan yurko etc etc etc.
When I had my vaccines they were safe to a guarantee of one adverse event in 50 million.
Last trial I heard of killed 6 per cent of the recipients of the new flu vaccine. That was in 2008.
Hi Back again
The comment on hospitals having lots of dead people and comments that UK has the worst health record for deaths in Europe.
Which country injects the most into their children and at an early age?
I take your comment about vaccination but why dont we eradicate measles world wide like smallpox?
I don't know the UK situation but in USA the illnesses in their hospitals stand at 11 million every year.
Lets be clear this is illness not in the patient but picked up by them during their hospital stay.
I will just repeat that: 11 million infectious illnesses every year.
I seem to remember that measles is running at a rate thousands of times less.
Shouldnt we be developing vaccines for hospital induced illness? Or are vaccines just a con trick?
Most of those hospital induced illnesses have another nasty property because they live in hospitals and not the patients houses. They resist most drugs that should destroy them. They therefore kill many of those 11 million.
Not so much medical catastrophe as medical genocide as there are simple ways to kill these bugs. Something known to the ancients. Living things don't survive without food. Closing down a filthy, dirty, disease ridden hospital will do the work that big pharmas drugs can't.
We can see film of these bugs actually feeding off antibiotics. YUM, YUM.
No one can survive yet without food to my knowledge?
Final point: UK may be bad but USA is best at the killing stakes. They have more deaths under age one than UK but of course they start the injections much earlier and more of them.
100 per cent guarantee for them to be the REAL world champs at KILLING.
No mention of JABS Rita?
They're the armed wing of the anti vaccine movement.
