BBrown did have a point. It could of took off. Try and keep the politics relevant please.
I am NO fan of the government - or the other lot - or ANY lot. But I find jibes about getting eyesight tested at a castle completely boring and nothing to do with the conversation.
For clarity I do not think he should of quit --no unelected adviser/sage/guru should of been there in the first place.
Back on subject - news today headlines of vaxing 6 year olds How many people are comfortable with that.
Well I know would be very reluctant to put my kids forward for it if they do.
I can't really see the point of vaccinating children that young when then very rarely ever catch it and even when they do barely any actually get ill.
I think it would be more obviously to vaccinate secondary school "children" first as they seem to be one of the worst spreaders.
I mentioned it because i wonder how many people who have been saying "its safe you are an anti vaxer" but then when it comes to their 6 year old kids --- hmm--err--- well-- ah.
Yes but let's be fair its a bit of a different scenario.
As an adult I can weigh up any potential risks and any possibility that it may harm me later in life and make a decision.
Where as for my children they have their whole lives ahead of then for any adverse effects to happen.
As a father of a young girl I can't even imagine the anguish if I forced the jab on her now only to find out in 10 years that an unknown side effect is sterility or some other kind of problems that would stop her having kids.
And before you say it... I know the scientists say its safe but they said that about the Thalidomide too and look how that turned out.
I'm just not certain I would be willing to risk something like that for a vaccine against an illness that for the most part isn't going to hurt her. I would rather she waited until she could make that choice herself, by which time the vaccine would have been in circulation for quite a few years and potentially any long term issues (or lack of) will be known
