A mother whose child died aged six from a brain inflammation caused by measles hopes sharing her story will encourage parents to “vaccinate more”.
It comes as the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) warned of measles outbreaks in parts of London.
Gemma Larkman-Jones wants more parents to consider having their children vaccinated sooner.
…
Prof Dame Jenny Harries, UKHSA chief executive, warned that measles is spreading among unvaccinated communities, and added that a “national call to action” is needed across the country.
Vaccination rates across the UK have been dropping, but there are particular concerns in parts of the capital as well as in some areas of the West Midlands.
Do you suppose finding “blame” is the key component to finding the “fix”?
eh sure ig, but the issue is not the cause of one singular party so it’s kinda bad if just one party is listed as the blame.
I don’t like anti-vaxxers but they’re not just the cause, they’re a result of a society that fails to educate about medicine.
Is what you just laid out as an example of the wrong way to approach this. It’s OK if you replace “school” with “society”, then we have the correct answer?
My point was, you cannot meaningfully “fix” the problem unless you correctly identify the cause (“blame” in this case). Agreed, in a complex system, the likelihood that one action, person, or group is fully to blame is unlikely.
But your comment reads as “don’t identify the cause, get to the fix” and that’s gibberish.
