Scientists fear children not being vaccinated could lead to an epidemic



Health officials in South London say they could be facing a major outbreak of measles. Three children have been taken ill with the disease and one has been treated in intensive care. Twenty-two others have shown symptoms of the virus. None of the infected children has had the controversial MMR vaccine.


It is now more than half way through 2009 and they are still predicting a measles epidemic.:alien:

It's like every year since I started collecting flu headlines, they are predicting that "this" year will BE the BIG panDEMIC!!!

I guess they are banking on the fact that maybe, one day, the wolf will come.

Meantime?
