    Ah well, for a minute back there people actually trusted the idea of science, research and education. Nice while it lasted, eh.

        People are always likely to believe doom and gloom is just around the corner, rather than that things will continue to get better and more awesome. The Ruskies are just poking at this reflex for their own ends. If I were them, i'd do the same. Despite boundless examples of official incompetence, your average punter will usually lend some sort of credence to the idea of a giant establishment conspiracy. Baffles the shiit out of me though.

          Well, you would know, since it's all you're capable of.

            How did Italians removing compulsion cause Ukrainians to stop vaccinating their kids?

            Another case of correlation is not causation unless it supports my own prejudices.

                I'm constantly amazed by how very stupid people on here are.
                What prejudice are you referring to?
                Cretins in Italy removing compulsory vaccination on their paymasters say-so* probably has nothing to do with Ukranian vaccination policy which might be historically low for other reasons.
                The fact that vaccination rates are falling in the US and western Europe from traditionally high rates probably has something to do with the proven according to the evidence influence of Russian trolls.

                It's obvious from your poor reasoning ability that if you're a contractor, you're a bottom feeder.

                  BTW Russia itself has very high rates of vaccination

                  It's quite clever of them to target the vast amount of cretins we have and use them as a fifth column to act against their own interests.

                    I just enjoy poking you, I'm guaranteed a gammon-faced rise with the mildest counterargument.

                    The influence of social media in any decision making processes is not proven and has become the typical excuse for the plebs not doing what the elite want, it's getting old. Mumsnet is probably the only place I think has any sway, but only with daft mums. There is a rise in autism and people are looking for scapegoats. I mean, look at you?
