The vaccination fear-mongerers are starting to follow the playbook of the creationists and other science denialists. A likely presidential candidate is now blathering on about "balance" while spewing his non-medical-expert opinion. And then, of course, a day later he starts walking it back.
Plus:We’re now living in a country where the fostering of New Age nonsense has led to one of our richest states, California, being the leader in child suffering, while Mississippi now has the honor of the nation’s best child vaccination rate — and freedom from measles outbreaks. Wonderful.

I have little doubt that the major reason for them suddenly piping up, is because Obama came out strongly in favour of vaccination. The standard knee-jerk Republican reaction is to oppose anything he says, merely on principle. It is impossibly for them to agree with him on anything. |

If Obama spoke in favour of defibrillators, the Republicans would say that heart attacks are good for you. If he was assassinated tomorrow, they would claim it was a false flag operation designed to take guns away. They are a pathetic gang of small-minded turds who care about nothing but their own bank accounts.
