Published in 2004 - ‘MUMPS HITS UNIVERSITIES’, scream the headlines as universities set up mass vaccination programmes
advising students to have the MMR jab as an epidemic of mumps threatens to sweep through campuses
across the country. Figures from the Health Protection Agency show an increase in mumps from about
1,500 for all age groups in 2003 to almost 2,000 cases in only the first six months of this year.

But if this were true, then everyone on a bus which was carrying someone with ‘flu would catch the ‘flu, but they don’t. Why not? - Not because they have antibodies to the ‘flu - the ‘flu virus changes every year, that is reason people are vaccinated annually against the ‘flu.

I can't imagine a better product to wash a baby in!
