I salute you. At least the kids get vaccinated.

My medical training makes me want to yell at anti-vaxxers.

DDT was never an autism thing, it was a birth defect thing.

DDT was never an issue with birth defects. The most serious issue with DDT was when it was inappropriately overused as a general crop insecticide (instead of being used in targeted pests such as mosquitoes) that it accumulated in the top of the avian food chain (raptors) and caused thinning of their egg shells.

DDT was manufactured as an environmental boogeyman by the Left. If you do a web search for DDT and birt defects, you will see a commonality in those websites mentioning it.

There are not too many people still alive in America who have watched a child die of measles or whooping cough.

Thanks to the anti-vax brigade, there will be many more, and soon.
