Timber,

NOBODY is saying all vaccines are good, or that vaccines we all know are elective (flu shots) should be mandatory.

What I am saying, and what ANYONE who studies this with any seriousness agrees with, is that those who preach anti-vaccine voodoo on the basis that it causes autism in children are doing massive harm to the individuals that listen to them, and to public health in general.

I think there are fine discussions to be had about *some* of the more commonly given vaccines, but to encourage people to skip DPT, MMR, Hep-B and a handful of others, that's borderline CRIMINAL to me.
