Today, from Public Health Scotland:
92.8% of children had the first dose of MMR vaccine by 24 months of age. This rose to 95.8% for children who had reached age five. Uptake of the second dose of MMR vaccine by 5 years was 89.4%, rising to 91.1% by age 6 years.1
There are several authorities, GOV.UK, NHS England, even the BMJ, reporting a ‘successful boost’ in the number of MMR vaccines administered to young children in 2024, (but not in London!) after the Measles surge earlier in the year. None seem prepared to tell what the actual percentage is. Presumably the London figure is making it bad for the image, scary even.
The WHO recommend 95% for ‘herd immunity.’
Statista had no qualms, no political agenda to conceal the awful truth from the people.2
London? 82.4%!3
Given the regular flow between London and places like Edinburgh and Glasgow, this is deeply worrying.

Talking-up Scotland 'Albatraz' 
So not only do illicit drugs and violence flow over the border courtesy of their County Lines gangs, but we now have England’s viruses flowing over too.
So much for being better off in their accursed Union – independence can’t come quickly enough.

Aye indeed namorrodor.
That’s the negative side of having an open border with our neighbour.
Just thinking that perhaps Ed Milliband’s idea , in 2014, of a putting armed guards on the Scottish border might not have been that bad an idea. (but they would be on our side of the border and not Ed’s side obviously).
If nothing else it may have stopped some of the undesirables, like County line gangs, from coming into Scotland. (and Viruses too).

Maybe Scotland could insist on vaccination boosters prior to entry?
Lots of countries do that.

I’m not quite sure how we’d police that – no border, no border patrol and no permission from Westminster.

Well, I’m assuming independence, of course…
Sorry, should have said 🤡

UK Propaganda rule 1 – NEVER allow Scotland to appear better than the Mother Country !
