  11. An article about Brian Deer’s investigation into Andrew Wakefield’s claim that the MMR vaccine caused autism. Included were his discoveries that Wakefield had not disclosed that:

    * he was paid £435,000 from lawyers suing vaccine manufacturers
    * he had patented plans for a rival vaccine (this vaccine never amounted to anything)
    * he had recruited of children through litigation networks
    * he had misrepresented clinical timelines in patient records

    I do wonder how many tens of thousands of people Wakefield has killed.

  17. Swansea’s MMR gaps: Why unvaccinated teens and students could trigger next outbreak

    Public Health Wales urges action to avoid repeat of 2013 epidemic

    Swansea has been named among several Welsh locations at risk of future measles outbreaks, as a new report from Public Health Wales warns of low vaccination uptake in key age groups and urban centres.

    The modelling study, published by the Vaccine Preventable Disease Programme, shows that while most of Wales is well protected, cities like Swansea, Cardiff and Newport, along with university towns such as Aberystwyth and Bangor, have pockets of vulnerability — particularly among teenagers and young adults.

    The highest risk of sustained transmission lies in the 18–24 age group, with 11–17-year-olds also flagged in areas with moderate uptake. These gaps could allow the highly contagious virus to spread rapidly, especially in densely populated settings like Swansea’s student communities.

    “The vast majority of Wales remains at low risk, but we must act now to reduce the risk further,” said Dr Christopher Johnson, Head of the Vaccine Preventable Disease Programme. “By focusing on the age groups and locations identified in the report, we can prevent future outbreaks and protect the most vulnerable in our communities.”

    A city with history — and hard lessons

    The warning carries particular weight in Swansea, which was at the centre of the 2013 measles epidemic — one of the worst in the UK in decades. That outbreak saw 664 suspected cases in Swansea alone, with 88 hospitalisations and one death. The epidemic was linked to historic drops in MMR uptake following vaccine misinformation in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

    In response, emergency clinics vaccinated over 35,000 people across the region, and the Welsh Government pledged to improve uptake. But more than a decade later, vaccination gaps remain, and health officials fear history could repeat itself.

    Local health board echoes call for action

    Earlier this year, Swansea Bay University Health Board urged residents to check their MMR status, warning that measles can cause serious complications — especially for babies, pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems. The vaccine is free on the NHS, and available through local GPs.

    Despite a national campaign in 2024 that delivered 5,500 doses to school-aged children, over 200 primary schools and 25 secondary schools in Wales still have two-dose uptake rates below 90%, leaving them vulnerable to outbreaks.

    What you can do

    Public Health Wales is urging anyone unsure of their own or their child’s vaccination status to contact their GP or local health board. Two doses of the MMR vaccine are needed for full protection, and catch-up appointments are available.

    Eligibility information and guidance can be found on Public Health Wales’ MMR vaccine page.

  19. Fact Checked: Budesonide and Clarithromycin: Unproven and Risky aap.org/en/news-room/fact-chec aap.org/en/news-room/fact-chec “There is no scientific evidence that inhaled steroids like budesonide or oral antibiotics like clarithromycin are beneficial for treating measles. Promoting medications to treat measles, particularly when those medications are not recommended, suggests that measles is treatable, which it is not. The most important way to combat #measles is through prevention with the #MMRvaccine.”

  20. Of possible interest. My wife and I (both in our early 60s) got titers for MMR to check our levels of immunity. She's "good" for all three, but I'm low in measles, so will likely get another vaccine, just to be on the safe side. We generally avoid vaccines/drugs, but try to keep it all in balance. Likely, many people would just go and get the vaccine, without doing the titer, but it's good to have validation that it's actually needed.
