  1. Is there anything to be said for a small local lockdown? 🤔

  2. I doesn’t seem to address it in the article, but is this increase in cases linked to a downturn in vaccine uptake? If so, Andrew Wakefield has a lot to answer to.

  3. I’d say good enough for them for listening to nonsense and failing to take a proven preventative measure, but it’s children and immunocompromised people who suffer for the malign stupidity of anti vaxxers.

  4. One of the commentators on another ‘media’ site claims it’s part of the ‘great re-set’. Don’t ya know…

  5. Was reading up on this, Ireland vaccination rate for MMR has been in or around the 80% mark for at least 20 years, the surprise is that there are not more cases.

    Also if you have access worth a read. An archetypeal middle class, educated “progressive” mother account of why she didn’t get her children vaccinated for MMR with some typical “alternative” reasoning. The type who was most likely to be influenced by that discredited Andrew Wakefield/Lancet paper

  6. What happened during covid lockdown to the kids who were due to get their second dose of MMR through the school? That’s how I received mine, one as an infant and in school at a young age. Wondering if that’s left a gap in it too (on top of the nutcases and whatnot)

  7. Apparently all the Ukrainians don’t take vaccines so we probably imported it

  8. I’ve had it..and no, my parents weren’t anti-vax, I’m just old. It was a dose and I didn’t even get it bad. My sister ended up getting pneumonia. Once it hit a school it used to result in nearly everyone getting it. It was a nuts time to live through. Between that, rubella, whopping cough, chicken pox,mumps, glandular fever, and even Scarlet Fever all burned through my primary back in the early 80’s. It was like something from a Dickens noveland it was by no means uncommon either.

  9. We need harsher penalties for anti-vaxxers. It’s the only way to stop stuff like this.

  10. Its de bleedin far righ’ spreading de meeeezels, de men of fightin ayige are buringin it iinnnn

  11. I’ve never contracted measles, mumps, rubella, men b, men c, or any of the other ones. I had my vaccinations, and so did my siblings and sll the people in my class in school. I’m not a parent, but it can’t be that hard either stick a needle in them for a few seconds or potentially get an illness that could kill my child and others.

  12. I’m worried because my baby is 11 months old and he can’t get the vaccine till he’s one. my wife and i both work with the public alot.

    if we are both vaccinated is it unlikely we could pass it to our kids?

    Did I get them all?

  14. This is the real Covid hangover. Morons who got their “facts” from crackpots online and don’t “believe” in vaccines. Morons. Fuck sake.

  15. I’ll say it again:

    Thanks Wakefield, you absolute cunt.

  16. Yeah well this is what we get for defunding metal health and locking everyone up in their own little echo chambers for a year and a half.

  17. There will be more cases. Measles is incredibly contagious.
