This is what happens when the Centre Left follow far right policies on immigration. Is Labour watching? Those Danish immigration policies still looking attractive?
Danish Social democrats suffered a massive defeat in Copenhagen last night. They incurred similar defeats across the country and there will be a general election in the next year. In Copenhagen the far-left Enhedslisten (the unity list) won the most mandates followed by the socialist people's party.

This sums up the absurdity of the whole anti-vax argument.
Yes, every medicine comes with some level of risk.
But that risk is lower than that of not using the medicine.
It comes down to a simple question: do you want you (or your children) to take the small risk or the much higher one?
