(32,324 posts)Is indeed a horrible idea.
Often, the more educated communities, like Marin County, have more households where vaccines are not being given to their youngest family members.
A mis-conception deliberately promoted by the pro-vaccine crowd has to do with implying that the anti vaccination crowd does not understand science. The truth is, a large portion of the anti vaccination crowd are scientists, PhDs, and professors. Anti-vaccination movements are backed by a tremendous amount of science, just as is the pro-vaccination movement. But at the end of the day, there is really no need for these types of segregatory labels. Its best to examine the science from a place of complete neutrality. Often, our beliefs about vaccines prevent us from doing this. And the fact that the Big Pharmaceutical industry controls so many of the laboratory efforts that shuld be looking into the issue objectionally, but instead are driven by the interst of finances to find the results that Big Pharma desires, tells us a lot about how real science is being disappeared.
