As if to prove the World Health Organisation right, there is now a growing cluster of measles infections in Enfield in London - vaccine scepticism has been growing in London for years & now the level of vaccination is low enough to see an outbreak like this.

Its a classic effect of medical misinformation, with parents' mistaken anxiety about the children's wellbeing, now putting their children at risk from the return of measles.
