I've suspected for a while that I'm being 'shadow blocked' on Twitter, (or whatever it's called). What odds this tweet gets seen by virtually nobody?https://twitter.com/c7rky/status/1034071952888147969?s=21 …
Of course views all mine. All without prejudice. Just a regular chap after all. Oh...and RT's may equally imply ridicule as endorsement.

1 in 10000 measles sufferers will develop SSPE a severe encephalitis 4-5 % of mumps cases suffer pancreatitis UK 43 deaths from measles in last year
Furthermore post pubertal males who develop bilateral orchitis run the risk of infertility 30-80% depending on series and severity Rubella is a cause of severe foetal abnormalities if contracted in early pregnancy : it is down to risk benefit analysis
I don't deny obvious risks attached to such diseases. Who would? But I think your last point is key. It's our risk/benefit decision to make - esp post-Montgomery ruling, now a reasonable patient's take on risk is elevated above previous Bolam thinking. Can't do that w/o all facts
The problem with vaccination is that it is the herd immunity and with 1 in 20 children under 5 suffering measles pneumonitis most common COD
Again, it's not that I don't appreciate the risks on that side of the debate - they are made clear at every opportunity and are terrifying for most parents. I just believe the risks disclosed are entirely 1-sided. Unreasonably so, imho.
But as you've already shared, the risks and statistics are public knowledge and overwhelming the statistical risk of not immunising is far worse. I'm afraid I'm with the Australian government on this issue. Like any form of regulation, wider public welfare has to be considered.
The *advertised* risks and statistics are public knowledge, yes. But I am far from alone in doubting them. No greater good argument will ever sound anything other than hollow when you're the ones having to spend a lifetime dealing with the underplayed consequences, I'm afraid.
