Dear 99: In most cases, this could be dismissed as an ad-hominem attack. But in your case, it is true. You really are a credulous, uneducated conspiracy nut whose health has benefited from the herd immunity of the vaccinated population. You employ every logical fallacy under the sun to back up your ridiculous statements. Your input is totally worthless. You should thank the rest of us for your health. And don't forget, you are STILL benefiting from your childhood vaccines.

I've always wondered, WHY would ANYONE not want to get their child vaccinated? EVEN if it did cause autism (which It doesn't) wouldn't it be better for the child to be healthy and live without the chance of absolutely preventable dangerous diseases, even if diagnosed with autism? P.S. Vaccines DO NOT cause autism and Jenny Mccarthy is a bitch.

[DavidSaddler1231]

Is there any possibility that vaccines can cause an auto immune disorder?

Bravo! Keep up the good work!

Amazing how people believe FALSE comparisons or analogies,

while refusing to believe REAL analogies.

I can respect 911truthers, even though I disagree with them on 911, because they truly ARE silenced and oppressed (no - NOT on the same magnitude as Jews in the Holocaust, ok?). But, more so: because their opinions do not hurt anyone in the future.

But, the anti-vax and anthropogenic global warming (AGW) denying idiots have serious negative effects on future generations. And, AGW-deniers do the oppressing of environmentalists.

Jenny McCarthy is just as dumb as she appears in her movies - of which I count only one: "Scary Movie 3".

SHEESH I've listened to 4 minutes before he states finally that there is no link to thimerisol and autism. Until then it's all "blah blah blah"
