Good News 
Those philosophically opposed to vaccines are often allowed to refuse vaccination for their children.
Bad News 
Children are starting to die. Diseases almost eradicated by the vaccination programs are on the rise with completely preventable deaths from meningitis and whooping cough occurring in poverty-stricken third world locations like Pennsylvania and Minnesota…. oh wait…. maybe not third world.
The blindness of parents is causing the deaths of children mainly due to a statistically non-significant link alleged between vaccinations and autism. If you’ve been informed of the link I suggest you read Paul Offit’s Autism’s False Prophets to get a look at the real picture before you put your child’s life at risk over a remote chance they may develop autism.
Hey, don’t get me wrong, an autistic child is a burden for life, whereas a dead child gives us a reason to feel sorry for ourselves even as we pat ourselves on the back for being open-minded and not bowing to the pharmaceutical industry.
Fear not, such medical geniuses as Jenny McCarthy (America’s saint of spanking the monkey 1980 to 1990) and Jim Carey (Think he may have played a doctor once? Or was it a television technician?) have come out as champions of the anti-vaccination movement. With rubber face and plastic girl at the forefront of the war on preserving children’s lives we’ll have small-pox and black death back in no time.
Before smallpox was eradicated with a vaccine, it killed an estimated 500 million people. And just 60 years ago, polio paralyzed 16,000 Americans every year, while rubella caused birth defects and mental retardation in as many as 20,000 newborns. Measles infected 4 million children, killing 3,000 annually, and a bacterium called Haemophilus influenzae type b caused Hib meningitis in more than 15,000 children, leaving many with permanent brain damage. Infant mortality and abbreviated life spans — now regarded as a third world problem — were a first world reality. – Amy Wallace Wired Nov 2009
Well at least we know why the male parents are listening to this… well maybe not listening so much as nodding dumbly while trying to wipe the drool of their chins. I too flash back to the Jenny of Yore before she put the MILF into medical quackery and scare mongering.
