My mam just started up about vaccines and I really wanted to rip the cigarette out of her hand and say "there's your loving poison". I didn't of course. Sorry, rant over.

Another thing (sorry if I'm going over old ground), I'm about as anti-capitalist as you can get but if you make me choose between which is more evil, Monstato or the anti-vaccination movement I'd be hard pressed to give an answer. This isn't like attacking big pharma whilst being in favour of homeopathy it's much more malignant. Honestly, I'm really starting to see anti-science sentiments as something utterly foul and not just an annoyance.

edit: Another problem with the "anti-capitalist" argument is that usually the most scummy tabloid press are often the big promoters of anti-vaccine scares. So basically big business is good when it's anti-science and bad when it's pro-science?

Didn't Monsanto make Agent Orange, the defoliant that lead to birth defects in Vietnam? Anyway, that's not my point, you can swap Monsanto for any scummy pharmaceutical corporation. All I'm saying is if option A is supporting corporate malpractice and option B is supporting dangerous pseudoscience then I'm going for option C!
