Wired has a cover story for November 2009 issue on the anti-vax movement. It's extremely critical.

I haven't gotten through the whole article yet, but I found this part especially amusing (bolding mine):

Quote:
(counterintuitively, higher rates of non-vaccination often correspond with higher levels of education and wealth).
I know, right? What's up with that? Aren't all of these backward Luddites fighting in this War on "Science" supposed to be dumpy and uneducated?

The author should look at the data in the Mothering article about non-vaccination rates in Ashland, OR and the LACK of any serious epidemics there.
