Light for Riley. No Vax? No Visit!

11 April, 2015

Young Riley Hughes was lost to pertussis at just 32 days old.

His parents (via Light for Riley) saw our No vax? No visit! flyers and wanted to make something in his honour.

Together we made this, for new parents to share to help protect their vulnerable new babies.

It has been picked up by the mainstream media, and widey shared on social media. We are so pleased to see regular people finding the courage to speak up in favour of immunisation.

A recent review that anti- maskers have been using appears to suggest that masks don’t work. Here is a thorough breakdown in this excellent article.“This recent Cochrane review is very limited in scope and is highly problematic in its methods. The most we can conclude from it is that we need better and more relevant controlled trials of mask wearing to more precisely determine its effect on the spread of COVID. But it does not show that mask wearing does not work or that mask policies don’t work. Further, if we look at the totality of the evidence (not just these trials) the best current conclusions are:Properly wearing face masks when in public during high risk of spread reduces the risk of spread of respiratory viruses in general and COVID specifically.During a pandemic of a respiratory virus, mask mandates are an effective public health measure.N95 masks likely offer the best protection, but need to be worn over the mouth and nose to be effective, and need to be worn continuously when in public (not just in targeted situations).” ...
