I've written on the matter at BlogHer: http://www.blogher.com/elaborate-fraud-linking-autism-vaccines.Shannon Des Roches Rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18057806553670980068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563550.post-14086128904822847642011-01-06T06:56:31.415-08:002011-01-06T06:56:31.415-08:00i'm sure you got this from about a billion oth...i'm sure you got this from about a billion other folks, but i thought of you when i read it. especially since it mentions jenny mccarthy by name.<br /><br /> http://tinyurl.com/2932oe9bonuelanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563550.post-78006803209632585492010-09-13T19:16:38.458-07:002010-09-13T19:16:38.458-07:00They can spout as much spin as they want, and it&#...They can spout as much spin as they want, and it's still spouting junk into the air. I don't like to bash people, but antivaxxers have a very holier-than-thou attitude. They're not interested in an honest conversation or even a friendly debate, they're just looking to tell you everything you're doing wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563550.post-83919179278248360842010-09-06T09:26:28.064-07:002010-09-06T09:26:28.064-07:00I have to admit, I felt sorry for the two featured...I have to admit, I felt sorry for the two featured antivaccinationist parents -- but they smeared themselves with their own ignorance. Freaked out about ingredients in vaccines? How about researching the reasons why those ingredients are incorporated, and comparing them to those in other over the counter meds? Etc. <br /><br />Unfortunately, antivaccinationsts are usually not rational thinkers or synthesizers -- qualities necessary to engage in this debate and be taken seriously (P&T qualify; that they also set their evidence in a NSFW context is irrelevant). Antivaxxer activists are jackdaw superficialists. Loud ones. <br /><br />Note: we need to point out group antivax shortcomings and falsehhoods, but it is rarely productive to engage antivaxxers individually. They are interested in spin and agenda, not dialogue -- and certainly not facts.<br /><br />Hmm. I'm going to append this to the original post. :)Shannon Des Roches Rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18057806553670980068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5563550.post-44719376054817581032010-09-05T14:22:24.608-07:002010-09-05T14:22:24.608-07:00Seriously?
