COMMENT - 1 JUNE 02

Now tell us the MMR jab is safe

IF ever the Government needed clear and irrefutable evidence that their

foolishly single-minded MMR policy was wrong then little Levi Ellis is it.

It is bad enough ministers dodge the question of parental choice and the

suspected links to autism, without their prolonged and arrogant assurance

that the jab is 100 per cent risk-free.

As Levi so clearly proves the controversial inoculation for Measles, Mumps

and Rubella is potentially unstable and unpredictable.

The three-year-old fell into a coma just days after having the jab. Her mum

Cheryl now admits she is riddled with guilt, believing her daughter's

asthma triggered the serious side-effects.

" If I could go back in time there is no way I would have let Levi have the

injection, " she told the YEP last night.

That would have left her daughter, who is now recovering from her horrific

experience, open to the possibility of contracting measles.

That is quite clearly a terrible situation for any parent to find

themselves in. Our children need to be protected against such

life-threatening illnesses, but with so many question marks still hanging

over MMR there are an increasing number deciding to take their chances.

The uptake for the triple jab is a woefully low 80 per cent in West

Yorkshire. This is children's lives we are talking about.

Until this Government presents irrefutable medical evidence backing up

their claims that MMR is 100 per cent safe, or gives parents the right to

choose to have single jabs, this dreadful situation will continue.

Little Levi Ellis was very lucky to escape with her life, but how many more

will not because their parents are caught amidst an impossible dilemma?

It is time for the Government to give parents the facts, and at the very

least a choice.
