A BIG topic is up for debate at the October meeting of the Ludlow and Marches Humanists.
'Blossom and the origins of the anti-vaccination movement', a talk by Dr Colin Kelcey, a neuroscientist and Fellow of the Royal Institution will be the next topic for discussion.
This talk will explore the origins of 'Vaccination' together with the beginning and rapid growth of the anti vaccination movement in the early nineteenth century. Vocal opposition and disinformation towards research driven vaccines is not new.
YOUR SAY
But it has come to prominence with the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic where despite all the scientific evidence and public health messages, a small but significant number of people decided not to get protected.
The talk is at the Friends Meeting House in St Mary’s Lane in Ludlow on Tuesday, October 18 at 7.30pm.
