I have never visited this site before, and only stumbled across this article by chance. After reading most of the comments, from both parties, it is immediately apparent that there is a huge gulf in the intelligence levels between the two ‘camps’ in this debate.
On the one side, there are some articulate, well-argued points, backed up with clear reference and meaningful citations, and on the other, there are those who are against vaccinations.
Whether you are for or against vaccinations should not be of any concern; the fact that many of you are unable to form a cogent argument, or even correctly structure a sentence is a far more important issue, and one which needs addressing far more urgently.

Last night (5thAUG2009) Coast to Coast A.M. with George Noory spent 4 HOURS spreading anti-vaccination propaganda. A “panel of experts” was telling the listeners to avoid all inoculations at any cost. It was appalling. Here in Canada that broadcast could probably get the program banned as posing a threat to public health. I’m glad that the Bad Astronomer no longer appears on Coast to Coast. That show has become consistently alarmist, reactionary and hostile towards science.
