It really really annoys me when, scientists use rubbish and sudo science and then the media to scaremonger people into there thinking. . These really are awful diseases which we almost wiped out in the uk. Whats evern worse, is there's been an increase in the school holidays, leading to potential outbrekas when schools start again.
