vaccination

Does this have anything to do with the measles outbreak and the ensuing vaccination/anti-vaccination debate in California?

Those diseases killed and maimed - only idiots without understanding of history and suffering would oppose vaccination programs.

Jenny McCarthy and Dave Grohl's opinions on the effectiveness of vaccination are clearly as valid as my doctor's.

We've forgotten what a true pestilence like polio does because vaccination programs have all but eradicated it.

This isn't just a right-wing phenomenon, either -- look at the childhood vaccination rates in places like Marin County.

This outbreak showed that vaccination did not provide protection and the strain caused a very high rate of haemorrhage.

There are people who are against all vaccination; people who think you are harming your children if you vaccinate them.

That smallpox outbreak didn't have a 90% kill rate and vaccination did work against it.

Much like vaccination, this only works because many other people are covered by insurance.

Giving a voice to ignorance in the case of vaccination discussion is yet another.

The NYT piece you cite is not about vaccination, and notes on that subject only that RFKjr wrote an antivax piece that was challenged.

Everything from vaccination requiring a signed consent form and if under 18, a parent or legal guardian, to ear (or other) piercing, to tattoos.

You said > Same with "anti vaccination nuts", I think there are only people that are against forced vaccination.

Same with "anti vaccination nuts", I think there are only people that are against forced vaccination.

I feel conflicted about giving publicity to someone who "doesn't believe in" vaccination.

Under the Wikipedia article for that...you notice (rightly or wrongly) that of the examples given, the anti-vaccination quakery (eg, kennedy in rollin stone etc) is a "well worn" example.
