Radio Listeners ‘Angry as Hornets’ About Dr. Walt’s Comments on Childhood Vaccination

Hmmm.

in the last few weeks, up in Minnesota (the same area of the broadcast), 5 unvaccinated children came down with invasive Hib. One died. At least three of the affected children (and perhaps all five) had not received any vaccinations, including the 7-month-old who died, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

What are those #s again from the MN cases? I thought it was 5 total, and 2 out of the 5 or 3 out of the 5 had not been vaxed. Is he fudging the numbers or am I remembering that wrong?

In fact, a new book defending vaccines, written by a doctor infuriated at the now disproven claim that they or vaccine preservatives cause autism, is galvanizing even more backlash against the antivaccine movement in the United States.

Well, we already know that's not true, it's never been disproven.

Stunningly, according to a report in the New York Times, the author of this book, Paul A. Offit, has actually had many death threats.

I don't believe that has ever been verified (you'd think there would be police reports). yeah, :

*Shrug* Its just his opinion.

It's just frustrating to me--it makes the environment hostile...people feel "braver" in telling me (or telling me by "passing along a message from someone else") how wrong they think I am, when a Christian radio station, essentially, endorses these beliefs..."child abuse" for not vaccinating??? That's just over the top and fuels the fear...it just upsets me.
