It's something I'm a tad passionate about, mainly because I really intelligent people who spread misinformation unintentionally need to be stopped in their tracks with good data. There are those who will follow the path of Woo no matter what evidence is presented... but if I can convince just one scientifically-minded person who has started to be swayed... Also, I'd like to be one more voice in the war that you, Skeptoid, SkepticDad, Science-Based Medicine, etc are fighting. @Julie – Thanks!

My opposite threw out a series of claims "proving" the dangers of vaccines, for which I attempted to address every one here: http://quay.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/a-response-to-some-vaccination-concerns/ Or as a PDF: http://www.40two.org/A_response_to_some_vaccination_concerns.pdf I include footnotes and links to every source I've used, which most anti-vaxxers unfortunately fail to do. It also saddens me that despite all the evidence (and complete lack of evidence to the contrary), people have been misled into thinking there is a genuine controversy, when there truly isn't. Keep up the good work! @jdewald I actually just got into a “discussion” on Facebook after I posted the Bad Astronomy link regarding the anti-vaxxers.
