And you are here why?

Lord knows I've wasted too much time on the fuckwads inhabiting the anti-vaccination ecosystem, but every now and then something opens a +3 Bag Of Egregious Stupidity , and sets me off. In this case, its the Wasington Post (motto: " Yeah, we used to be a newspaper "), with a profile of some numbnut named Wolfson who appears to be a doctor of some kind, though I have no idea how his anti-vaccination beliefs jibe with the Hippocratic Oath Oh, don't get me wrong, its not that they justify his goofy ideology - its just that they're pretty much playing into his shtick by reporting this as "news". ITS NOT NEWS YOU IDIOT!  You don't do feature articles on the nutjob standing at the street-corner!  You know why  Because, ITS NOT NEWS! If you want to write about ballistic ignorance, write about it properly , with none of this " opinions on the shape of the earth differ " crap! To see how it should be done, go check out Albert ...

There is a spot reserved in the 7th circle of hell for the vaccination deniers (yes, I'm looking at you Jenny . And you too Katie ). And frankly, I'm getting tired of writing about this - its f**king stupid that I have to. But, every now and then, you get something like this, showing all the outbreaks that could have been prevented through vaccination . Its from The Council for Foreign Relations , and the highlights (helpfully summarized by The Incidental Economist ) All that Red?  Its measles.

Please, please, please  get your kids vaccinated.

Its not like we should actually have  to tell people why they should get vaccinated in general, and get the flu-vaccine in particular. But... haters gonna hate, and Jenny McCarthy gonna remain stupid. After all, emember back in mid 2013 when Texas had a measles outbreak ? And in early 2012 when Indiana had the measles outbreak ? And before that, when in 2005 Indiana had another measles epidemic ?  All because a bunch-a idiots of the Jenny McCarthy vein decided that science was for shit, vaccinations were for chumps, and God Would Provide? (Or AUTISM ! Or something equally idiotic) Well, Tara Haelle at Red Wine and Apple Sauce  (" Health and Science News for Moms ") has compiled - and debunked - the top 25 myths about the flu vaccine. Mind you, Haters probably gonna continue to Hate, and Jenny McCarthy will always  be an idiot, but whatever... Myth #1: The flu vaccine gives you the flu or makes you sick. ( No, it doesn’t. ) Myth #2: Flu vaccines contains...
