Thanks, Judy, yes this is why I asked. I wanted your input on the topic in addition to what I knew from Mercola. I didn't know about herd immunity. Good to know. I guess I swallowed what Mercola said because no one else was talking.
What about vaccines and autism? ________________________________ From: authfriend <jst...@panix.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, August 15, 2012 8:23 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Followup articles on the sorry state of "science" --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Share Long <sharelong60@...> wrote: > > Oh no Judy, I really like Dr. Mercola. Why do you think > it's bad to be against vaccines? OMIGOD. Share, being against vaccines is one of the very most dangerous of the unfounded myths circulating among alternative-health folks. There are huge amounts of excellent material on the Web debunking opposition to vaccines. That isn't to say that there is no risk to vaccines, just that the risks of not using them are far greater. Do you know what "herd immunity" means? Have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herd_immunity This is a good place to start. You really need to inform yourself of all the pros and cons instead of just swallowing what Mercola has to say.
