Anti-vax crowd is killing the children

Here is a great, highly recommended article from this month's Wired. The subject is controversial, because as always the anti-science folks (and these ones are not necessarily basing any arguments on religion) are back. And this time they are harming the youth of America.

In this battle, there are many who claim that vaccinating children is harmful, somewhat forgetting to say that polio, rubella, and measles are much worse. Wired has a full arsenal debunking various myths and even calling out these grade A assholes.

The main issue at stake is that some people believe vaccinations cause autism. This is simple correlation and no study has ever proven causation. Autism tends to set in at a certain age, the same age that kids are getting vaccines; however much of the increasing rate is better diagnosis of autism, not evil vaccines.

Evil is when a parent subjects their child to an array of diseases that have been eradicated.
