Anti-Vaxxers
Friday, July 3, 2009 at 3:01PM I was ready to write up a large post on this topic, but found myself getting too angry and not clear headed enough. So instead I'll link to a great article on it, on The James Randi Educational Foundation website.
The real science is obvious and overwhelming. Vaccines don't cause Autism. Mercury in vaccines didn't cause Autism. Jenny McCarthy's son was vaccinated after mercury was removed from the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine. Autism rates haven't dropped as a result of mercury being removed from vaccines. Autism rates are the same in vaccinated and non-vaccinated kids.
And seeing as though the link in the article doesn't work (remove the dot on the end and it will), I'll link directly to the Jenny McCarthy Bodycount page as well.
