I never thought, when I trained or worked as a GP, that Diphtheria and Polio or, to a large extent, measles, would again be things that I might have to recognise. Nor would I have believed that malnutrition on a scale currently seen would be tolerated by society. I was wrong - how quickly are the hard-fought gains lost.
@tompearce49 I’m afraid that’s more evidence that doctors’ and scientists’ attempts to protect and improve public health are criticised, by some, as interference. Many of those same people can afford a good diet, warm houses and private medicine.
