The classic new age nonsense response using the hubris of science gambit. You spend two paragraphs saying nothing well except building a strawman that I never came close to even planting the seeds for. I never suggested anything about the motives of scientist other than they are not pure evil out to poison the world any other reading is your own prejudice and lack of comprehension. What my post did was to explain what vaccines do, and to the other anti-vac they are not different antibodies the reason there needs to be a booster is to increase the number of antibodies, and then to explain what a chemical and natural really is.

Lets move on to more of your new age nonsense. Now we are to the great false moderate response you give. Of course, your not against (wonderful advancement brought to you by science that either saves lives or increases the quality of life) in this case vaccines but I worry about (minor issue that is already addressed in scientific literature and is needed for the wonderful advancement to work). Lets talk about additives. With out the additives there would be no vaccines. Theomisle for example makes it possible to use one shot for 3 or more different vaccines. Theomisle allows the active ingredient of a vaccine to still be viable while on the shelf for a few days. Theomisle is the best preservative in insuring the active ingredient efficacy. Theomisle is one of the most tested ingredients of the last 15 years and every study but 1 has shown its safety. The one outlier is the one that started most of this mess and the study made several large mistakes.

Your cancer researcher example is horrible and was either used in ignorance or to purposely confuse the issue. The goal of many cancer researchers are exactly the opposite of what you state, which is to produce drugs and treatments that mix together multiple treatments into one pill. The new AIDS medications are just that combo pills of pills that used to be separate. You do know that they test what goes into drugs right?

With out additives there would be no medications at all. All pills in pill form have additives. Hell even IV drugs are mixed in with water or saline before being administered.

It is not hard to find some of these justifications of the anti-vacs just go to mothering.com the home of most of this nonsense. While of course there is a mixture of different levels of crazy from those that don't believe in the germ theory many of the more sane express just that others are doing it so i don't have to.

To your second point i am always confused on this one. Is it no one else business how they raise there kids or does it take us all to raise kids? Depending on the specifics seems you get different answers to this one. In the United States the Constitution clearly gives the government a right in the say of public health and since vaccination is just as much a public health cause as it is an individuals treatment. But, ignoring that, I pay more in taxes so parents can pay less, I want some basic level of say in the raising of yours, or any other person taking a tax deduction on a child's, health. If a parent really wants other to stay out of there business have them fight to eliminate child deductions then.

Since it was Katie Curic that brought it up lets look at the tale of the tape.

When a white women is successful there is no backhanded compliments on her intelligence

I guess Katie is right, it is hard out there for the highest paid news anchor.
