The US Department of 91色情片 has come up with an answer to the problem of
persuading parents to have their children immunised with the combined vaccine
for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR). It has threatened to fine or even jail
parents who fail to comply, and to exclude their child from school. In just one
month, MMR coverage has rocketed from a dismal 67 per cent in December to more
than 99 per cent. In Europe, coverage is still falling because of an alleged
link between the vaccine and autism, even though not one large-scale study has
found any connection.
