          Great piece by @GidMK Unfortunately misinformation about vaccines has now become the norm on much social media associated with parenting, leading to misplaced fear and ultimately the resurgence of these awful diseases like measles 🙁pic.twitter.com/ue4Ca4uhWu

          1/2: Not trying to come over as supportive of the anti-vax lot, but the comparison of Australia and “Europe” is a little unfair- one is a rich single state with a unified political and health system, the other is a continent with vast disparities in wealth and political control.

          2/2: To what extent is the current decrease in vaccination in Europe due to the antivax movement when compared to other reasons people don’t vaccinate (lack of access, unstable living conditions, migration etc) and has anyone looked into this?
