And so Hartlepool, with an immunisation level of 80% has an outbreak of measles. 11 cases confirmed and 60-odd more suspected.
I was about to ramble on in the usual way, but the little voice in my head said something particularly evil. I wonder how many of those children had the MMR vaccine deliberately withheld by their parents. And if one of those children dies or is severely damaged by an entirely preventable disease, whether those parents should be prosecuted for neglect or abuse or somesuch. Or would their hand-wringing angst be punishment enough?
Nah.
