Hmm, I'm not sure. Now that you mention it I had another injection around the same time. One left a scar, one didn't.Richard Slater said:I thought the TB Immunisation was the BCG, I seem to recall having that when I was in Year 9.

Well so were the government. If there was no doubt on MMR then why didn't Blair say whether his children had it?
I don't trust the scientific opinion TBH, or the scorn on those that say it is unsafe - especially given that there is a growing group of parents who believe that MMR does have problems.
For the sake of money and peer pressure, why bother with MMR?

I happen to agree.vonhelmet said:A fine devil's advocate post.

If I ended up with an authistic child who just happened to have been given the MMR jab I'd be pretty annoyed with myself... even if all the scientists in the world came together and agreed the jab had nothing to do with it, I still would feel responsible for tempting faith.

Sorry, but what?cleanbluesky said:Its strange that your started this paragraph with the word 'honesty' as it is honesty itself that has lead to the persistence of anti-MMR claims. There was a total lack of honesty with regards to MMR and a systematic unwillingness to even examine the concept MMR (a new cheaper alternative to three seperate injections) might have negative side effects.
We have been told the claims were 'rubbish' but was there anything else than a desire from the first minute to support this view. No institution wished to acknowledge any possibility, therefore it is no surprise that the same institutions are still dismissing any possibility of a link and encouraging the masses to believe that they have 'overcome' the 'media hysteria' of the idiotic masses.
Given that many now believe 'popular opinion' is that MMR is Safe, just who is under the influence of media hysteria - those that are open to the possibility that there may be a danger or those that are willing to dismiss any possibility of danger on he basis of the written word of people they have never met and who owe them nothing.
Err, you can get individual injections. The complaints are about the three-in-one injection.Docaroo said:These parents who are allowing these horrible diseases back into our society when science has eradicated them with the MMR jab are complete and utter idiots and I have no time for them!
Ah but people get hysterical about the whole thing and end up deciding "I'm not giving Johhny any of that", ie vaccines in general.tenchi-fan said:Err, you can get individual injections. The complaints are about the three-in-one injection.
