The arrogance of this government knows no bounds. We now read in the national Press that a doctor has been suspended because, at the request of worried parents, he was giving three individual vaccines instead of the one, questionable triple jab.

It is the perogative of parents to decide which route to go down in this extremely serious matter. Parents who have thought this through are obviously not morons. Their children belong to them, not to the State.

Let the Department of Health keep a watching brief if it can spare the time and eventually the truth will out. We are told autism and bowel conditions have not been proved; neither have they been disproved, so nanny can go and do a Mary Poppins.
