These measles outbreaks are REALLY BAD news. Measles is a horrible disease with potential for very nasty outcomes long term.
I honestly feel quite hardline about it. If you don't have a measles vaccination (unless legit health-exempt), you shouldn't go anywhere in public. Cos your choices don't just affect you/your children, but affect others, who might not be able to get vaccines.
Screw Andrew Wakefield and the MASSIVE harm he played a huge part in.
