I have no "side", I have my choice as to how I administer healthcare to my daughter. I'm not carrying a sign etc. I do think a website dedicated to showing the consequences of unchecked rhetoric is a good/amusing thing though. And unfortunately, some other parents choice can have an impact on all of us no matter how many field trips their kids avoid.

Btw, we had a couple of Jehova's witnesses that couldn't go on trips with us as well as a girl that couldn't sing secular songs with us in the classroom and thus had to sit in the hallway while we all did. -What do you think had the potential to scar her more, the hallway or signing frosty the snowman? -Firmly held beliefs can be very weird.

If you've got an inkling that vaccines are bad, it doesn't take much to disprove it. But if you've got a firmly-held belief that vaccines are bad, being dismissive is exactly the wrong thing to do. -Firmly held beliefs are both wonderful and scary things, aren't they?!

Death threats?? WTF?

I just asked my wife what she thought of the whole anti-vax scene and her immediate reply was, "BPA, pesticides and antibiotics (increased bacterial resistance) these are the quiet enemies parents should be more concerned with, not vaccinations".

Sorry if a bit erratic. NYE resolution to not eat meat -still in check. NYE resolution to only have 2 drinks -gone.

Hopefully it lasted two or three days so you could at least say you tried! ;)

It will continue to be a much healthier year on all fronts. It wasn't and will continue not to be a waste.
