I did my own research and found that religious kooks and antivax dumbasses are undermining society.

"Ontario is reporting its highest increase in measles cases since its outbreak began, with 223 new infections in the province over the past week. That brings the total number of people in the province who have fallen ill from the virus to 1,243 since October."

Eating foods high in added sugars can cause large blood sugar spikes. When this happens repeatedly, over years, your cells can become less responsive to insulin. This is called insulin resistance. Your pancreas compensates by making more insulin, but eventually, it may not be able to make enough to keep your blood sugar levels in check. This is how Type 2 diabetes develops.

Aren't Internet rabbit holes a wonderful thing?

I'm reading a book by @KenLussey - 'Stockholm Run' which involves an outbreak of Smallpox in Glasgow in 1943 (amongst other fascinating historical insights).

This eventually led on to a discussion of why my wife and I were told (in no uncertain terms) to be vaccinated against Smallpox in 1973/4.
The answer relates to the last confirmed death of someone from the disease - a Medical Photographer named Janet Parker.
Her death led to dramatic changes to the way dangerous pathogens are managed in the UK.

Sacha and I were working in Pathology Laboratories at the time and were considered to be high risk of contracting Smallpox (which at 50 years distance seems truly bizarre)

Well done dumb asses: "Measles has spread to 109 more people in Ontario over the last week, bringing the province’s total cases to 925 since an outbreak began in October. Sixty-nine people have required hospitalization – that’s eight more than last week – including four in intensive care."

Everything is fine: "The spread of measles in the Southwest now constitutes the largest single outbreak since the United States declared the disease eliminated in 2000, federal scientists told state officials in a meeting on Monday."

Inspired by the toot from @matt303 - here's a dreadful photo of me in about 1978.
If I remember correctly, I was doing T4 (Thyroxine) assays using radioactive Iodine on serum samples. This would have been using the Amersham International testing kits. The machine / display may well have been some sort of geiger counter.
The photo was definately taken at the old Papworth Hospital in Papworth Everard in #Cambridgeshire

Man wearing a white coat holding a pen is in front of a device with numbers showing. There is a white container with a metal box above it with a radioactivity symbol. There are shelves on the wall. The man has strange hair and even stranger glasses. He's trying hard not to laugh at the way he looks.

@truls46 : "I think he genuinely believes what he is saying."

Nope. Not a chance.

Measles is among the most contagious viruses known. A single case can cause dozens more in places where people are unvaccinated. Infants too young for vaccination, immune-compromised people and the elderly are all at risk. Measles isn’t just a fever and rash. It can cause pneumonia, brain inflammation, permanent disability and death.

Using the health records of more than 280,000 older adults in Wales, researchers found those who received the shingles vaccine were 20 per cent less likely to develop dementia over the next seven years than those who did not receive the vaccine.
