There is now a major outbreak of measles.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>With insults as poor as the above, Dr Crippen deserves to see a wicker man from the inside. However, he only presents a straw man argument.\u00a0 There is not a major outbreak of measles.\u00a0 And if anyone is scaremongering it is the likes of Dr Crippen, HMG and BBQ who present a relentless tax-sponsored campaign to scare parents into permiting their children to be jabbed with whatever They deem necessary. It has been MMR, it is now HPV (<a title=\"Blogdial: Gardasil\" href=\"http:\/\/irdial.com\/blogdial\/index.php?s=gardasil\" target=\"_blank\">as we have discussed before<\/a>) and will soon be chickenpox (<a title=\"Blogdial: chickenpox\" href=\"http:\/\/irdial.com\/blogdial\/index.php?s=chickenpox\" target=\"_blank\">as we have discussed before<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the post to which Dr Crippen links was obviously too complex in its arguments for him to understand. Dr Crippen accuses us of scaremongering when in fact that post simply highlights;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>how government policy has restricted patient choice<\/li>\n<li>how it is the restricted choice of vaccine which is now limiting uptake<\/li>\n<li>how HMG could alter this policy, but refuse<\/li>\n<li>how, rather than change policy, HMG pass blame onto parents refusing MMR &#8211; <em>as is their choice<\/em><\/li>\n<li>how the NHS, Dr Crippen included, fail to support parental choice and exacerbate the problem<\/li>\n<li>how it is HMG, NHS, BBQ and now Dr Crippen &#8211; and not parents &#8211;\u00a0 doing all the fearmongering<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Health chiefs in Wales are dealing with a &#8220;massive&#8221; measles outbreak, with numbers already four times the highest figure recorded over the past 13 years.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Lies, damned lies&#8230; and very selective reporting. If, for instance, one looked at all the years of measles cases one may say something like &#8220;the outbreak is among the 20 lowest number of cases per year in recorded history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/1\/hi\/wales\/8057661.stm\">BBC <\/a>Heaven forbid that we should start using nasty inflammatory words like \u201cepidemic\u201d or \u201cpandemic\u201d about this illness that could be eradicated were it not for the gullible worried-well lapping up noxious propaganda from the Wakefield brigade.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Patronising tosh. There would not be so many &#8220;worried well&#8221;, as Dr Crippen calls them, were it not for the deliberate scare-mongering of the health industry. No worried well, no mass market for HPV vaccine, no mass market for chickenpox vaccine, no mass market for statins over-the-counter, no multi-billion dollar industry in unneccessary vitamins and supplements. The &#8216;worried well&#8217; do not go to the doctors asking for vaccine X, health screen Y or treatment Z\u00a0 for no reason: &#8211; it is because the have been subject to a targeted marketing campaign based on fear, guilt and scaremongering by the health industry.\u00a0 And the NHS is an integral piece of the health industry. The worried well are exactly the market targeted by BigPharma for vaccines against relatively inoccuous diseases like chickenpox.<\/p>\n<p>And over the last year I have read precisely ZERO articles suggesting a link between MMR and autism (&#8220;noxious propaganda from the Wakefield brigade&#8221;). In contrast, there is a wealth of &#8220;noxious propaganda&#8221; telling me I am endangering myself, my children and the health of the nation if I fail to give my kids MMR. A wealth of &#8220;noxious propaganda&#8221; telling me how evil a disease measles is in 21st Century Britain. Just look at <a title=\"Noxious propaganda and fear-mongering\" href=\"http:\/\/search.bbc.co.uk\/search?go=toolbar&amp;uri=%2F1%2Fhi%2Fhealth%2F8057508.stm&amp;q=measles&amp;tab=ns&amp;scope=all\" target=\"_blank\">the noxious propaganda on the BBQ<\/a> alone!<\/p>\n<p>To compare,<a title=\"Balanced reporting my arse\" href=\"http:\/\/search.bbc.co.uk\/search?scope=all&amp;tab=ns&amp;q=mmr+autism\" target=\"_blank\"> search the BBC for &#8216;MMR autism&#8217;<\/a> and the latest hit is over a year ago. And that is a report of the GMC hearing against the original researchers.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Still, it\u2019s a thought.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>No, it&#8217;s not.\u00a0 There is no thought in your post at all, and that is the problem, Dr Crippen.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The NHS news line reports today that there are fewer cases of swine flu in the UK than there are cases of measles. And in Wales, there are two hundred times more cases of measles than of influenza.<\/p>\n<p>Why is it not on the front page of every newspaper?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Maybe because some editors are keeping it in perspective? Maybe because only BBQ is in the pay of HMG?
