Vaccine and Willful Ignorance

I hate needles. But I appreciate them once they are out of me and their protective juices are flowing through my veins, tricking my immune system into creating anti bodies so that when a real disease hits, I can fight it off without nothing worse than a sneeze. Sometimes, you don't even notice you've been infected.

Of course, with everything out there, there is always a conspiracy. Lately, supposedly needles cause 'autism.'

This has been disproved in several reports. No correlation has been found between incidents of autism and needles.

Astonishingly, people still believe that needles cause autism. People who are political donors and influences. This guy, Gary Kompothecras, honestly believes his kids got autism from needles.

I'm sorry his kids have autism. But going against overwhelming scientific evidence is asinine and it disturbs me that people who refuse to accept scientific evidence are given influence and power. Needles do not cause autism, no correlation has been found at all.

No harm comes from enforcing vaccinations. It keeps society healthy and prevents epidemics of disease. Needles, as creepy as they are, are a boon to society. They keep us healthy without weakening our immune system. They ensure that when little Billy gets a cold, it dies out before it can spread to other kids. To be afraid of vaccines over a debunked hypothesis, such as "vaccines cause autism" is willful ignorance, which we have enough of in our government.

And why is it always Republicans coming up with crazy notions like this?
