Nope, no homeopathic products, and no acupuncture.
I don’t give a crap about Jenny McCarthy. I don’t know why you keep bring her up. I don’t even know anything about her.
You also keep talking about documented research. There is plenty documented research that supports the dangers of vaccines too.
However, the Vaccine Injury Compensation Trust Fund is the best documentation you can get.
Look, you're talking past me, probably intentionally, and trying to avoid the issue that I've been discussing. I've already said that no one claims there aren't risks.
The issue is, is there any scintilla of evidence that vaccines cause autism. The answer is no, and if you don't know who Jenny McCarthy is, then you aren't informed about the history of this controversy, and obviously haven't been paying attention.
I know it's absurd that a former PlayMate and current dimwit is at the center of a public health controversy, but that is the nature of things in a People Magazine society. Millions of women have listened to her and other anti-vax mouthpieces like Oprah, and public health is paying the price in outbreaks of diseases that were essentially eradicated decades ago. The measles outbreak has spread to 14 states, and no serious person is iffy about where to lay the blame.
Vaccines are a gift from God and one of the triumphs of mankind. And we're fortunate to live in a time when they are much, much safer than they used to be. Jenner did things that were morally questionable when testing the smallpox vaccine, and even up until the mid-20th century the smallpox vaccine had as high as a 1% negative reaction rate. But it eradicated a disease that killed 500 million people in the 20th century. Now, you have people screaming about unverified correlations between vaccines and negative reactions that are less than 1 in 1 million doses. That is not rational, nor is the 17th century Luddite aversion to vaccination that dominates the anti-vax cult.
