www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-68007804It comes as no surprise that measles is on the increase - especially in areas of the country populated by ethnic minorities. When I was doing the MMR uptake survey it was apparent that a lot of Asian children were not getting the vaccine. Reasons for this included language problems, ignoring information (you can print leaflets in 30 different languages but you can't force people to read them), misinformation leading to suspicion, plus frequent trips to places where measles is rife. (India, Pakistan, Yemen). Of course we have to tolerate this threat posed by a disease that was eradicated in 2016 in the name of preserving our multicultural society. Just hope none of my grandchildren catch it!

Measles is like Polio - we spent decades and millions of pounds eradicating it, only to import it back into the country from the 3rd world..
Way to go..

Measles is our strength !!! ... to suggest otherwise is hate speech !
Oops, I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, that doesn't become law until after the Election.
Now if Genocide Joe used the no doubt astronomical sums of money involved on mounting a could of ineffective bombing raids on Yemen, and instead over the time of his Presidency built them 20 new hospitals, sent some US Doctors and medical staff to wipe out measles in that country and divert 5% of the military aid budget that gets earmarked for Israel toward a medical training scheme in Yemen, maybe some tentative steps towards reversing the hatred of Uncle Sam in the region could be achieved .... declaring war on measles instead might have prevented those shockingly bad opinion poll ratings, Joe ?
And with the knock-on benefit that US puppet states such as the UK who favour massive doses of increased diversity every year, they will benefit as well from having a smaller dose of imported measles.

The UK Health Security Agency reports that since June 2022, there has been an influx of cases of diphtheria among asylum seekers in the UK, with 18 cases reported in October and 27 cases reported in November. These cases have mostly been identified in the southeast region of England.14 Dec 2023

Plus TB
Data from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) indicates that cases of TB in England increased by 7% in the first half of 2023 compared to the same timeframe in 2022, with 2,408 notifications compared to 2,251 in the first 2 quarters of 2022.
While England remains a low-incidence country for tuberculosis, progress towards elimination has stalled in recent years. Ahead of the United Nations (UN) High Level Meeting on tuberculosis, UKHSA is reminding people that TB is not just a problem for other countries – it is impacting increasing numbers of people at home.
TB notification rates in England remain highest in people who are originally from parts of the world where TB is more common and those in large urban areas in England

Is it a disease of the cities rather than the country?

Is it a disease of the cities rather than the country? In a word, yes. Particularly richly diverse areas of cities.

Blaming migrants is too simple. There's a whole raft of cults and nuts out there spreading anti-vax and other mumbo jumbo medical stories for many reasons. Then there's stories that certain illnesses have been errasdicated. Plus, there have also been some disastrous medical clock-ups and cover-ups. So many parents — both local and migrant — are unsure what to believe and what's best for their children.
We're lucky, both Mrs's family and mine have members working in mainstream medicine and health, they've given their advice, and we've stuck with the conventional recommended immunisation and vaccination programmes with no problems. But I like to think that I'm savvy enough not to have been influenced by mischief-makers and nutters, anyway...

It is pretty obvious to me this is a low income disease.
Inadequate housing or inadequate diet.
