Yer a good man, Charlie Brown.

For the record, the anti-vax crew in 2010 was bigger and less militant. Once California had mandatory vaccination most of them vaccinated their kids; it's one thing to say "I'm taking a stand against Big Pharma" and quite another to say "...and am willing to home-school my kids to do it." The tide had started to turn, principally because there was study after study after study indicating that vaccines are safe and because the medical establishment started to realize that answering questions was more effective than saying STFU.

I, for one, much prefer having a $6k fridge full of $50k in vaccines in my wife's office to knowing she'll be out every fourth weekend to explain the delayed vaccine schedule to a bunch of scared yuppies.
