  • But to protect newborn babies from the disease, pregnant women can also be offered pertussis vaccines. In England, the BMJ reports, uptake among this group has fallen from over 70 percent in September 2017 to 58 percent in September 2023.

    Sounds like 12% of expectant mothers have had their trust in doctors destroyed by the policies enacted during COVID. That’s not COVIDs fault. That’s our fault for how we reacted.

    There a lot of people who aren’t scientifically minded that treat scientific knowledge just like scripture. It comes from wize people and they just trust and accept it unquestioningly.

    Those who practise science know that all knowledge is to be questioned, and everything needs evidence. They also know that everything we “know” is most likely wrong. It’s just the best explanation we have so far and that’s a good thing.
