    Here we are. The y axis (1.0) is the White British level for MMR vaccine. So Asian groups are more or less the same as white, but black groups are miles behind.

    Spikey, your curry takeaway give you the shits this morning? I suspect the article that specifically mentions "London, Leicester and Birmingham" was a thing of your imagination and then you use NOVID rates to back up the measles points?

    I've just been reading more about the measles stuff, and alot of it does come down to the MMR Autism claim too. I wonder how many deaths Dr Wakefield is responsible for since he made that claim. It has carried over to reduced uptake across various other vaccines.

    And as much as it being blamed on white people feels like an overstep, you have to imagine that minorities are going to believe claims like that far more easily because they have been the victims of medical fuckery like the Tuskegee experiment in the past.

    How do you get around this? Because it would be nice if the likes of Measles and TB stayed problems of the past.

    The best bit is Wakefield claimed 'telling the truth' ruined his life whilst pumping Elle Macpherson every night.

    I've mentioned this before surely but I went to school with Dr Wakefield's son, who was quite a nice guy, and I just felt sorry for him by the end. I think they all fled to America at a certain point.

    No one ever brought up the elephant in the room. Not once, that I can remember. Just pretended it wasn't there.

    The parents who didn't believe their kids need vaccines appear to have changed tune quite dramatically now our daughter's school messaged to say any kids who haven't had the full MMR course have to stay home for 21 days.

    I always wonder why people don't bother with the chickenpox vaccine. Yeah, you have to pay for it, but if your kid gets it you are looking at a reasonably significant amount of time off work, and if you have more than one kid goodnight Vienna.

    I should probably get that. I somehow never got chickenpox as a kid. Don't really want it as an adult.

    Was recommended by the JVCI recently so it's likely it'll get added to the vaccine schedule at some point.

    Chickenpox wasn't that bad for my 2 kids

    Hand foot and mouth though, horrendous! Someone needs to make a vaccine for that next

    Mine sailed through both to be fair. They had less than 10 pox each and just had a bit of a cold. Hand foot and mouth was similar, but with the added drama of my son freaking out when his skin started peeling. And then again a month later when he shed 2 finger nails.

    Thus far we have been pretty lucky with all the childhood bugs.

    Probably jinxed it now.

    Yeah, but aren't you meant to keep kids off school for quite a long time when they get the pox? Only one of mine had it and, having had the jabs, it was barely noticeable.

    Until they have all scabbed over. They were off for the week.

    This is just good luck on our part though. A few kids in the year did get really poorly with it. It can be a bitch.

    Funny this is brought up - both of mine have just had chickenpox. No real pain and/or itching thankfully, it's just been an absolute ballache working from home with a 2 year old who can't understand why I am unable to play whatsoever.

    I never had chickenpox as a child either...

    There are chinless public school types wandering every corridor in London trying to sell national assets to the Emiratis, the Saudis, Russians, Malaysians, whoever is the keenest to launder their dosh. Telegraph of course a vigorous promoter of the chinless, especially in the last five or ten years. Comes home to roost in the end.

    Their recent war stuff has been mental, leading me to think - when war comes, and Simon Heffer bravely leads us all into battle atop his citizen's steed, where are all the bomb shelters going to be? We have no basements in this country.

    This Alabama execution story has me asking a very mild question: If the lethal drugs are so hard to find, why don't they just shoot them? Why is gassing someone to sleep or injecting them with harmful chemicals considered more humane?

    Isn't the way it's done that they have 3 people push a button at the same time so they don't know which is 100% responsible? Either way, you could rig that up to an AR-15 and cap a fool, I guess.

    America is weird is probably a strong enough explanation

    Nothing more revolutionary than throwing stuff at the "most behind glass painting ever".

    Definitely feels like the Chinese economy is about to take a big downturn. There's a billion people in China and Evergrande have enough vacant properties to house them all.

    I'm not sure if this means the invasion of Taiwan is more likely (war economy, distraction etc.) or they get more cosy to the West because we will prop them up buying all their Temu shit.

    China and America are so economically reliant on each other, that you have to imagine this won't be the only such bankruptcy. Who knows where we go if there's another global financial crisis.

    You'd hope the answers would be found around a table though. Unless the goal is to reverse globalised economies, which seems unlikely. The rich won't like that.

    An incredible Ponzi scheme. In reality they needed this collapse, in order for their domestic economy to sort itself out. If they can ride any civil unrest and the short term economic pain then the CCP rolls on, although they might have to cash in a lot of the foreign debt they own.

    The more significant thing from our point of view is a lot of their soft influence / foreign investment in Africa and other places is in the process of vanishing.
