I went to my paediatrician in January and she mentioned started babbling about vaccinations despite the fact that I was there for his speech delay and his possible allergies..
Anyway, when I mentioned the fact that Men C back in the day had a massive hysteria created just to get everyone to come in to get a catch up(I remember going in after seeing on the kids news, loads of little villages had contracted it and they went as far as showing a contracted and death count on the news to scare kids about men C) even then doctors admitted that men B was still more of a problem than men C and men C was merely a hysteria created by the media.. (I read this in a medical journal that hasn't been discredited)
anyway, so I says to her. It's a fact that the death rate of Men B is 500+ each year whereas a measles is 1 (considering measles always has to be portrayed as if loads of people die from it while figures show that isn't the case) she came up with these answers that just seemed ridiculous to me.. I got answers in regards to men B that because he now isn't that vulnerable he won't need it... I think that is bollocks, I think he's still equally as vulnerable because Men B is just a very benign type of meningitis.
She then said to go and speak to a vaccination nurse which I happily accepted because I couldn't listen any longer to her b****** in regards to the subject! I will be signing the petition because it's one of the vaccinations that I would consider having done but my OH won't as it's only private (comes to show how much of a hypocrite he is when it comes to vaccinations...)
