Even here in the UK, we had a surge in Measels because some idiot decided to make public (and unfounded) claims about links between the MMR vaccine and autism.

Stupidity is an entirely human trait.


The issue here is public losing trust in government and institution.


No, it's ignoring basic science, governments have nothing to do with it.
Without proper education, you have no idea how "basic science" works.

I learned what I know by ignoring 'proper' education because it barely teaches anything Tongue nice try Smiley

Cows can have sub-clinical cases of tuberculosis.  Meaning that they are infected but not showing signs of infection.  Raw milk from these cows can then give people tuberculosis.  This was a very common problem before pasteurization became widespread.

That's exactly right, I was hoping some of the posters here would be able to pick up on it by themselves but it looks like they can't.
