Well, this an interesting tidbit about vaccination and potential disease outbreaks

Posted by Brian (aka trav007) Nov 1 '11, 10:48

"By far the best book on this phenomenon [of children not being vaccinated] is The Panic Virus, by Seth Mnookin; I can highly recommend it. He tells of how when public-health officials try to work out which areas are at highest risk of fatal outbreaks, one thing they do is look at a map of Whole Food stores � it�s the crunchy-granola college-educated liberals who are by far the worst offenders when it comes to putting their own children and everybody else�s at risk. And they love to eat up pseudoscientific claptrap about �immature thymus glands� when it�s published by outlets like the Huffington Post."

It is interesting, though it focuses on one region. I imagine that nationally it is also includes a hefty segment of those on the far right too. - Don Homer Nov 1, 10:55 1
