The Logical Result of the Anti-Vaccine Hysteria . . . 1

. . . the claims behind which have been totally discredited.

Whooping cough, also called pertussis, has killed five infants across California since the beginning of the year, officials said, though none of those deaths were in San Mateo County.

“There have been 35 pertussis cases reported this year, which is more than four times the number reported by this time last year,” San Mateo County Health Officer Dr. Scott Morrow said in a statement.

    I read somewhere that despite the truth of the matter, the people who swear vaccinations can cause autism still think possibly letting their children get a fatal illness is worth the risk. Chris & I were talking about it the other night & he made a comment about how they will feel when polio rears its ugly head again in the States. Because it will. Vaccinations are the only thing that wiped it out here to begin with. 

    Then we can talk about the kids who get sick (although not as bad) because the parents who won’t vaccinate let their sick children go to school. Who remembers Typhoid Mary?
