    Dr. Edwards should lose his medical licence and be banned from working with children forever. How sociopathic do you have to be to be working whilst knowing you are carrying one of the most infectious diseases in existence? This is utterly inexcusable, especially since he is supposedly a qualified doctor and should be well aware of the danger he is putting his patients in.

      Covid, or at least one of the omicron variants is next i think, but one might argue its more since the infection cycle was faster leading to larger numbers, but in terms 1 person infecting X people, it’s Measles.

        Measles is more lethal to buy itself, if it causes meningitis or encephalitis, secondarily it suppresses the immune system

      Does seem like it would go against the hypocratic oath. That said, I leave that up to the medical board to determine since I am not a doctor. But it should at least be investigated by them.
