Our eldest grandson (15) was born in 2002 when there was MMR scare suggesting it could cause autism. His parents decided not to have him vaccinated. He is the only one of our grandchildren to be diagnosed as autistic. All the others had their jabs. He had his in the end too, after the diagnosis.

When I was born in 1950 it was obligatory in my home for all children to be give the vaccinations, which were available in those days. I am not sure if that is still the case today.

It is crazy to deny your child vaccinations, unless they have a medical problem, which would be made worse if they are vaccinated.

Just been watching Dispatches on Channel 4.

Andrew Wakefield has the ear of Donald Trump who has put his considerable intellect into opposing vaccination (well, we knew this). The orange-headed monster prefers conspiracy theory to scientific theory.

I fear that the USA may be facing a measles epidemic. Without the herd immunity that vaccination provides it could be catastrophic.

Robert Kennedy Jr was featured in the programme. I hope that I am not being too judgemental, but his speech was so uncertain that I wondered whether he is already vaccine damaged.

Wakefield has been struck-off in this country but this has not stopped him from making his home in Texas and being treated as a hero.
