and that was ten years after the mmr scandal.ake of the vaccine. one of them is misinformation, one of them is anti—vaccination information, but the other is probably the combined effects of immigration and migration. people moving from jurisdictions and geographies in the world where there isn't a good vaccine programme or there's undervaccination and they're bringing with them therefore their disease risk and joining communities who are in the same situation in their new geography. and then we've also got the problem that off the back of covid, which disrupted many health services and health systems where we prioritise preventing covid cases, and this disrupted uptake of other strategies elsewhere. when you bring all those things together, the best way to counter this is to try and catch up and to spread correct information and then offer people a solution, which is vaccination with mmr, which you can have at any age, and is very effective at preventing measles, mumps and rubella. the consultant virologist dr chris smith. prote

some of it goes back to the now debunked claims between mmr and autism, which isn't there.ing among young children of fake news around that. so it's a challenge to try and overturn some of those myths which have become more embedded within some communities. they're trying to get more people to have the jab, like at this school in coventry, where there had been an outbreak before christmas. there was even a hug for those whose main objection was the needle itself. the outbreak is spreading fastest among under—fives, although all of these children have had the first of two mmr doses. their parents are worried. we've got two children. it's a bit concerning. i didn't really know much about it until recently, and my daughter actually had some jabs two days ago. it's a worry for everybody who has vulnerable people in their families and frustration that, that there's such low vaccination rates where we live. the numbers are going up rapidly and a huge effort�*s being made to persuade vulnerable groups to get protected. phil mackie, bbc news, birmingham. the time is 16 minutes past

, measles. measles, measles, mmr, measles. >> oh, measles. you remember many years ago the scandal of the wakefield scandal, when , uh, a wakefield scandal, when, uh, a physician who actually got struck off by the medical council , uh, struck off by the medical council, uh, put out this stuff that autism and various other mental health disorders in children were caused by the mmr vaccine . so people stopped vaccine. so people stopped vaccinating their kids. some parents decided to give them partial vaccines from the mmr. >> it was separated. >> it was separated. >> others continue food. and what's happened? we've got the combination of the anti—vax feeling from covid together with the wakefield scandal of nearly 20 years ago has made people feel that vaccination may not be as safe as it's made out . and as safe as it's made out. and the trouble is, measles is a nasty disease only in a small percentage of children. but it can be a disease and it can lead to all sorts of complications that have long lasting problems. so i think, you know, measl

my kids were the mmr and all the were given the mmr and all the rest of it.s it surprise anyone with those illiberal vaccine mandates dunng those illiberal vaccine mandates during the pandemic, when people were choice to were not given the choice to have not, given the have the jab or not, given the fact that it didn't stop you getting covid, didn't stop transmission there no moral transmission, there was no moral case those mandates. and case for those mandates. and that's you've got your that's why you've got your vaccine hesitancy. you make your bed, you lie in it. that's just my view, of course. but there you go, rebecca jane nodding her head.the you go, rebecca jane nodding her head. the government are very clear that the vaccines saved countless lives. okay folks, look, we've got those front pages and we're getting reaction from political from the brilliant political broadcaster and commentator, writer jane. top writer rebecca jane. top entrepreneur, entrepreneur mike green , and former executive green, and former executive editor the of the world edito

2000, there was a quite a significant , there was a quite a significant, uh, scare around , um, the mmrrs of parents deciding that they weren't going to get it because they were worried about this alleged link. um, that was pretty profoundly, um, discredited . he was struck off, discredited. he was struck off, um, a man who i admire very much called doctor mike patrick, who is a gp, wrote a book called mmr and autism what parents should know . people should look it up know. people should look it up if they want to know more about that. and so that sort of that. um, and so that sort of that. um, and so that sort of that sort of happened . but there that sort of happened. but there has also been a sort of rise of, um , you know, anti—vaxxers um, you know, anti—vaxxers a terme that now is a little bit sullied, but genuine, sort of anti—vaccination sentiment. uh, mixed in with a sort of, you know, there's a there's a kind of a health food trend. there's a trend the nhs a sort of trend within the nhs itself, suggests you itself, which suggests that you should, fix your own should, you know,

being put to down vaccine hesitancy, tory mp maria caulfield has urged parents to catch up with the mmr. now my kids had it. the disease is involved are potentially fatal, so it's an important measure. but where on earth did this vaccine hesitancy come from? i can't imagine . i do hope it's can't imagine. i do hope it's not a consequence of bullying. millions of healthy people, including children, to take a medication that statistically they probably didn't need, one that wouldn't prevent transmission or stop you getting it for an illness that posed most no mortal threat. mm. you reap what you sow, folks. i hate to say i told you so. now a play about queen elizabeth the late queen mother has been given a trigger warning because it's set in the 1970s. so may contain language and opinions which are uncomfortable for the audience. now, i beg to differ. i think the 1970s are starting to look like a golden era. comedy in the 70s was better. the music was better. no one was fat, no one was woke. there was no mental health crisis. we just got on with life and we enjoyed it. if there's a partic

and there's nothing wrong with the mmr vaccine.anyone you might infect who's and things infect who's pregnant and things like it, um , it the thing that >> it, um, it the thing that upsets me is that now they're saying there are more and more cases of measles. doctors were saying this years ago. knew saying this years ago. we knew the was was getting the take up was was getting poorer poorer, and we should poorer and poorer, and we should have done of have done some sort of a campaign five, seven, maybe even ten years ago to prevent the outbreak of measles. that's happening now . happening now. >> and another there's >> and there's another there's also to of also another element to some of the we're the sensitivities we're talking about, to about, because it does tend to be amongst demographics be amongst certain demographics where you have a higher rate of kind scepticism kind of vaccine scepticism sometimes. it's also just the fact language fact that there's a language barrier terms getting barrier in terms of getting through the

um, but there was a guy called wakefield at the time, then who completely discredited the mmr vaccine to not get the little darlings vaccinated. this guy was then discredited. he was disbarred , had to move away to disbarred, had to move away to australia because it was completely unfounded . right? but completely unfounded. right? but then now , because we're faced then now, because we're faced with covid and the vaccinations there, some parents are now thinking, well, vaccinated are bad. we shouldn't do that. i don't want to put that into my child. this is a result. well, measles is incredibly dangerous. it's incredibly dangerous. and we had it was almost eradicated with the vaccinations, vaccinations are an incredibly powerful tool with regards to mmr and polio, but it's all going to come back. and this is ridiculous. imagine having to send a child to out, you know, to, you know , it was almost like to, you know, it was almost like saying you've got nits move away. we don't want you here. it's ridiculous . it's all it's ridiculous. it's all because of the stupid parents lack of par

a lot of parents either deliberately or unintentionally foregoing that mmr vaccine that's recommendedted people. >> seems like a lot of it can be eliminated, you don't necessarily have to go through this. what are the complications of the measles? >> people need to understand initially it looks like a flu-like virus. the incubation period and infectious period can be as long as three weeks. it can be serious.e in five peoe infected with measles are hospitalized. possible complications involve lung, pneumonia, encephalitis, permanent disability and in some rare cases death. so we have to take this seriously. >> very seriously. doc, thank you very much. >> you bet. >> we'll see you on gma3. coming up, shannen doherty sharing good news about her valiant cancer fight. new hope this morning. >> also ahead, gma's parenting play book looks at the impact of doomscrolling on social media. >>> plus a look at nat geo's top travel destinations of the year. lara is with two special guests. hey, lara. >> no fun happening up here, i promise. there's nothing to see here except the dynamic duo. they a

there's been surging cases of measles and they've linked it to parents avoiding the mmr vaccine. to give you some idea of just how much it has surged, apparently across europe october last year, europe up to october last year, there were 30,000 cases compared . to 941 the year before. so that's a massive, massive increase . i mean, i still think increase. i mean, i still think a lot of this is the damage that was done years ago when it was spuriously linked to autism. well, i think they'd recovered from that. >> and this has been another setback. but it's all about herd immunity, if you immunity, isn't it? and if you have drop, then everybody have this drop, then everybody suddenly vulnerable. suddenly a bit more vulnerable. um why it's been um and so that's why it's been declared, national incident um and so that's why it's been de

of under 16 are not vaccinated , and under 16 are not vaccinated, and it requires two doses of the mmrd, just a big problem. it's linked, obviously to covid vaccine scepticism, but there are more issues than that. and there are issues than that. and there are issues that this report doesn't talk about. one of them is about certain communities we certain communities that we don't we don't don't reach and that we don't know to when it know how to talk to when it comes immunising their comes to immunising their children. there's weird children. there's this weird kind slightly kind of, you know, slightly bonkers growth in holistic health , thinking that health care, thinking that everything medical bad everything that's medical is bad for you. therefore i won't, for you. so therefore i won't, you look child. you know, look after my child. but it's about but again, it's about responsibility others responsibility towards others because know, okay, maybe because you know, okay, maybe you worry your 11 you don't worry about your 11 year old getting measles, but if they to, you know, they pass
