I've been working for the medical team at this festival for almost 10 years and this is the first time we've had notices about measles. Bloody stupid antivaxxers 🤬

NHS information sheet: Think measles! Vaccination rates have fallen, and cases of measles are increasing in England. Any patient with fever and a rash is potentially infectious and should be directed to a side room on arrival.

Absolutely no reason why measles should even be an issue these days. Like smallpox and polio, it is a strictly human disease and could be eliminated, if we chose. When children die or are disabled by these diseases, it is because we choose to permit that.

It’s happening over here too. They want to make polio great again as well.
