! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.
The BBC were bleating this morning about another promised measles epidemic (the last one they said was going to happen didn’t, I wonder if this one will) and navel gazing about the number of children that aren’t getting vaccinated.
What they failed to mention was that it was the BBC was one of the media outlets that made such a big thing about the scientifically dubious and widely disputed claims that MMR vaccines could cause autism in children that has resulted in so many children not being given the MMR vaccination.

mumps hurts, i had it as a kid and it was bloody sore, my whole heid was like a big fat pink hairy melon 🙁
I think the BBC starts lots of rumours, its just that most of them dont get a life of their own
what about a blog post about the MP who was arrested for telling the truth the government wanted to hide?
Give me a chance, this is stuff I wrote this morning and didn’t get a chance to publish! I’ve still got a post on Ian “the tosser” B.Liar to put up yet.
hi wonko
it may be a coincidence but if you google “autism somali” you may find why the government and department of heath are running scared.
seems like minisota has a lot of somali kids with autism (1 in 25) .
the parents who know nothing about the whole autism mmr mercury thing are saying that thier childern changed after vaccination and they have never seen autism in somalia.
great blog btw

Tellingly, the sentence “Research has not shown it’s related to shots or toxins — kids who haven’t received immunizations have the same baseline [for autism] as those who have,” said HCMC’s Maroushek.” seems to imply that it may be something else other than MMR
