I wasn’t aware this was considered a culture war issue. Is he referring to low uptake among ethnic minorities or low uptake among covid skeptic types? Or maybe both I guess?
Andrew Wakefield should be in jail for the harm his lies have caused.
Let your kids get measles for the sake of diversity
For anyone reading this, the MMR vaccination is safer than fucking measles, mumps and rubella. Look up what measles does, especially kids and tell me if you wanna take that risk.
These fools would tell you about how cancerous x y and z is and it’s all a conspiracy whilst taking a large drag on a Lambert and Butler and a sip of beer. No irony detected.
Go door to door vaccinating kids and get this sorted out.
More of the explain why this is the truth starmer,
less of ban this because i can’t even, starmer
I like to think Americans, with their anti-vax beliefs, are *uniquely* stupid.
Please don’t correct me.
I had mild measles, even with vaccination and it was no joke! The house had to be pitch black to protect my eyes and I felt so ill. I dread to think what it would have been like without the vaccines
Give your child the MMR!!
We are too far away from people having 10 kids and 4 surviving and it really is making people take vaccines for granted. Only a couple of generations ago.
Just start banning misinformation online and fining social media that allows algos which push it. Lots of it has been traced back to originating in the likes of Russia.
Someone remind him of that for trans healthcare too
I’ve worked with a nurse who spouts the anti vax stuff. There is no reasoning with them.
If you’re old like me and the MMR didn’t exist when you were a child, you can still get the vax. The practice nurse got me at the same time I was getting my toddler done.

Man who turned public health into a culture war to appease transphobic christofascist bigots surprised by public health being a culture war
Yes this predates Starmer, no I don’t care. You don’t get to pick and choose which parts of healthcare get politicised when you politicise it yourself.
The people who throw millions into funding this idiocy should be banned from any dealings with the UK
What culture war would this be? Is there a certain issue with certain people in that area not having or taking vaccines?
If you don’t vaccinate, you don’t deserve NHS hospital access
I really do not understand how parents can do this. Our job is to protect our children.
Public health has been a culture war since we gave into the antivaxxers and pretended Covid was over. We’re 5 years into Government level Covid denial and the effects on the NHS, the workforce in general and children are showing for anyone who cares to look.
Why is this being flipped as a ‘Covid denier’ surge when in reality it’s mostly longstanding low uptake rates in certain demographics?
