If the poster of a question is subsequently banned their questions will disappear. That's normally fine but in cases where the question itself had no spam links and the thread contains quite a bit of useful information for others, then so long as inappropriate/spam answers are removed it may be better to just Suspend (permanently) the OP so the thread remains.
thank you for the translation jno
yes the ly link was to a look-back article which looked at a few thousand cases in Ceylon and drew conclusions
i have no idea why a retired doctor should find this observation hard to understand in any way
to the point
measles was devastating and lethal in victorian times I thought because of the chronic malnutrition
Measles is said to be lethal in Africa now for the same reason ( sqad - the reason should be - malnutrition)
BUT -
1) as it spreads thro a family ( in africa that is!) the later cases tend to die - and this could be an effect of "passage thro the natural host makes a virus more pathogenic" - . My Porton Down training coming out there I am afraid. Recollect that plague becomes pneumonic and spreads without a flea in later stages of an epidemic
2) or it could be that in a family - there are shared HLA antigens - and this has an bearing on the effect measles virus has in later infections - not seen outside a family environment
bit technical for AB - but perhaps jno cd translate the difficult bits
and yes Wakefield - now not in medical practice - said MMR was dangerous when it was not and he should have known, and so vaccination levels dipped sharply
single measles vaccine is not as efficient and no vaccine is worse
so there was a measles epidemic the first in forty or fifty years
and at least one death in Manchester
over to you jno for a my first ladybird book of measles translation

I have no problems with users being removed for any reason that pleases the Ed, that's what editors are for. Just a shame if useful threads go too. Perhaps the Ed could find some way of keeping these even when the OP was been deactivated. A special section for Interesting Threads Accidentally Posted By Trolls maybe.

"I have no idea why a retired doctor should find this observation hard to understand in any way "
If the above remark was aimed at me, I cannot reply as I do not know to what your are refereeing. Would you care to enlighten me?
Don't blame Wakefield.......his paper was read by "experts" BEFORE being accepted for print in the prestigious BMJ or Lancert, i cannot remember which. Clearly blame was not that of Dr Wakefield's alone.
