Go ahead and try debunk whatever you like, but the parents of these children know different. I would say your probably all in favor of gov run health care as well.

Surprisingly, the anti-vax crowd happily follows Jenny McCarthy whose scientific background consists of possibly passing high school biology. Possibly. I think they did a decent job of showing what a fraud Wakefield is. Unfortunately there is none so blind as they who refuse to see. I am convinced Wakefield could lose his only medical license in the UK, be blasted by every medical association in the US, and parents would still bring their children to him. All because, at the end of the day, they want the "normal" kid they feel entitled to.
