While I agree that the Covid vaccines were not managed well and created many negative outcomes, I cannot agree that all vaccines overall are bad thing. Polio, Smallpox, Rabies and German Measles and many other diseases have been greatly controlled and/or reduced, because of vaccines. No - there is no vaccine that will not damage anyone - there is never going to be a 100% safe vaccine - but that is the price humans pay for removing and reducing diseases that killed billions over history.
A warning to the Glastonbury crew re Measles
The generation most at risk of measles
According to Dr Smith, the MMR generation now in their 20s – and the most likely to go to Glastonbury – are the ones at specific risk. “These are exactly the demographic coming downstream from the Andrew Wakefield scandal,” he says. Dr Smith is referring to the 1998 paper published in The Lancet journal in which the now-disgraced Wakefield implied a link between the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine and a “new syndrome” of autism and bowel disease.
The paper was later roundly discredited and Wakefield struck off – but the damage had been done, and thousands of parents in the late 1990s and early 2000s refused to get their babies vaccinated. One in five children in England is estimated to have missed out on their MMR jabs – in some areas, it’s one in four. The “anti-vaxx” movement is still thriving.
