Ignorance Rampant: The Anti-Vaccine Crowd and H1N1 0
Over at Scientific Blogging, the Rubyologist tees off on the anti-vaccine zealots:
The fact that the purported thimerosal-autism link has been completely disproven, has not stopped the anti-vax ideologues. If the science does not support using single dose vials with reduced amounts of preservative, why did we decide to forgo use of mutli-dose vials, which can be produced and distributed more efficiently? May I suggest fear?
In a country that likes to bill itself as the most techologically advanced (it isn’t), the willingness of Americans to embrace and perpetrate fear based on ignorance and lies is quite astounding.
