One of the most mainstream Luddite tendencies of the day is the anti-vax movement. Somehow people are starting to think about skipping vaccinations the same way they think about organic produce, hemp fabrics, and reducing their carbon footprints (a term i find to be more and more grating, oops, my bad). It’s a “hip” thing to do.
I’m here to tell you that doing so is baseless, irresponsible, and ignorant. This is not a mere opinion I have. This is fact.
There has never been a single shred of non-anecdotal evidence that vaccines cause autism, the heaviest charge levied against them. There have been many large scale studies proving the lack of a tie in with autism.
“Save me your jargon science boy! Anecdotes are quick and go down easy. Not to mention I can get them from my favorite day time television, the true source of American knowledge!”
That’s fine shit-for-brains. But get ready, because with the growing number of unvaccinated disease troves walking around, epidemics are beginning to break out for diseases we haven’t had in developed countries for 100+ years. When 4 year olds start dropping like flies in white bread America from preventable, nay- eliminated diseases, you’ll get plenty of anecdotes.
Actually, it seems Australia, where anti-vax fever already has a firm grip in many communities, has provided us with a far more gut wrenching story than Jenny McCarthy (that’s your spokes person? really?) could ever drool out.
So, you have doctor’s, scientist’s and epidemiologists saying that vaccines are good and necessary, and you’ve got Jenny McCarthy, daytime television hosts, and herbal remedy crackpots telling you that they are bad…….
I know if you are reading this you probably don’t have kids, but you know someone who does, inform them, please don’t let people die from preventable diseases.
Need convincing? Read this. Or just go to bad astronomy and search for “vaccine”. He will link you to a million places where vaccines are shown to be ok, and anti-vax bad.
Yeah, considering what idiots there are out there having kids, you'd better believe that I wouldn't trust them to have their kids vaccinated. Thus why I will get mine vaccinated...if I ever have them of course.
