Bullshit Posts That I come across.

This past week, one of the blogs that I stalk...Prayer of Hannah... has been talking about vaccines, and how these mothers are choosing not to vaccinate their children. I'd like to express my frustrations about people who choose to have such a jaded view of reality. Many say that vaccines are the "cause" of autism, but have they given thought to the idea that maybe, just maybe autism has always been around and recently they have been able to determine what the symtoms are and how they affect children.
For instance...its fine if women want to make their lives more difficult and banish all things convienient and revert back to the 1700's, but they need to understand the effects of there decisions. Cancer, autism, polio, measeles ( just to name a few) have always been around, its the medical advances and research that have brought these diseases to light.
I just dont understand how some can be so blantantly blind to the medical advances that we have the oppourtunity to take advantage of. Vaccines are about prevention and by taking the chance and not vaccinating your children you run the risk of putting the mass population at risk for a major outbreak, of oh lets see.....bubonic plague!
