However, my anger stemmed not so much from the fact that there are those who’s opinions differ from mine on here, but because some of the self proclaimed gifted, independent thinkers n here chose to treat a serious subject like the return of diseases that had disappeared as near as damnit for decades as a joke. I can only presume this was done for one of two reasons, either they were playing the man rather than the ball, something which many, myself included, are guilty of on here from time to time, or, second, the subject matter fell outside the narrow range of subjects these so called independents are interested in - either way, Gluey’s replies in this thread have just been pure childishness.
There you go again , the fact that you’re calling independent thinkers gifted and self proclaimed shows how much you appear to dislike other opinions. I don’t think they are gifted or even remotely self proclaimed however they are going to be feel slightly vindicated when you consider ANYONE who suggested what’s now being discussed in newspapers, MSM and even in parliament was called out as a conspiracy theorist, anti vax , selfish,crazy left wing , calls to be denied access to healthcare, made to undertake unlawful unpaid work etc etc.

As an aside, the measles debate has been going on for two decades.Tony Blair did more damage regarding vaccine hesitancy than anyone when he was serving prime minister and the effects are still being seen today.
