Great video by good ol' potholer. The anti-vaccine thing is something which REALLY gets my blood boiling.

People with selfish interests create fake link->Parents with no scientific understanding take this fake link as proof of someone to blame for why their child is how they are->These non-scientific parents start spreading this information as if it's fact->Morons like Jenny McCarthy jump on it and promote the shit out of it->More parents who think that celebrities know better than scientists stop vaccinating their kids->kids die


It's fucked, I hate it, I hate that people in my family and friend circle believe this shit and put their kids and others at risk because of it.

ARGH.

The tragic irony is that if the vaccination program had continued we would have eradicated all three diseases and future generations wouldn't need to be vaccinated.

After all, most people these days aren't vaccinated for small pox.

Remember to trust everything from Squibb and Merck.

Think for yourselves people, look at the science not the media's interpretation of it. Remember the media is just after the best headline. Vaccines save live and eradicate diseases!

Superior conspiracy theory: The makers of the MMR vaccine are behind the anti-vax scare. This way, the diseases aren't eliminated, and the need for their vaccine continues on for the foreseeable future.

It's win-win -- the anti-vax people get mysterious funding coming from some shell corporation or PAC, and the vaccine makers get tons of money cranking out a vaccine they've already developed for decades more.

Well, I suppose some kids die that way, but that doesn't affect their bottom line. After all, who would sue the vaccine companies over deaths caused by anti-vax nuts refusing to get their kids vaccinated?
