“Young child in Mexico has novel influenza” was Swine Flu’s start. So I always get a little nervous reading about it.
The slightly better news is that compared to COVID, influenza sucks at spreading, so our non-pharmaceutical interventions are liable to stall it out pretty well.
France has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the developed world, and this particular bit of nonsense (MMR is dangerous) is specifically linked to a British doctor who was trying to increase uptake on his “new” vaccines.
