More victims of idiots such as Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy and their ignorant anti-vaccination activism.
Here is the very latest chart from Children of God for Life outlining all the vaccines with aborted baby tissues: http://www.cogforlife.org/vaccineListOrigFormat.pdf
To bad there is not an inoculation to cure stupid.
How in the world did I ever survive?
When I was a kid, during the summer time if any kid came down with measles, mumps, or chickenpox, the mothers had a party to get all the kids together so we would ALL catch it. That way we’d be sick during the summer instead of missing school.
Natural selection one generation removed.

Most scientific papers, when they are retracted, are deleted. Someone looking for the paper would find only the citation, along with a notice “This article has been retracted.”
Not so with the Wakefield paper. It is there for anyone to read, and I have done so. It is such abysmally bad science that it should never have been published; I have no idea why a prestigious journal like The Lancet accepted it.
All kinds of improprieties have been revealed since that horrid paper was published. Wakefield was partnered with a lawyer; together they hoped to rake in money through lawsuits, using Wakefield’s paper as scientific “evidence” to support their planned gold digging. Furthermore, besides the dubious scientific quality of this study, it turns out that Wakefield performed medium to high risk procedures on his pediatric study subjects without bothering to seek IRB (ethics review) approval prior to the study. It is unlikely an IRB would have approved of such procedures. He also falsified (fabricated) data.
Wakefield has lost his medical license because of his gross misconduct. Given the number of children who have died as a direct result of his scam, that punitive measure barely even qualifies as a slap on the wrist. He deserves a punishment more in line with the loss of life that he caused.
Truth: The saved generation!
The only hope of living a long healthy life is having the childhood diseases in early childhood.
The VA gave me what I think was called a Tdap immunization shot recently, I didn’t know what it was, but it was free, so I took it since I heard the word tetanus, I have never turned down a tetanus shot.
I don’t know about all the modern immunization shots available today, but I was all for my son getting all the normal ones when he was a kid.
My little brother’s life was not helped by his getting polio, luckily his case wasn’t too bad.
