DISQUS

You've put your finger on it - the "whaaaa?" one feels when being criticized for daring to question another mother's rejection of logic and evidence.

I'm afraid to think of how many of the parents at our playground would fall for Jenny saying something like "if you believe it, it becomes your reality." Hello, people? Would you not laugh if you heard your preschooler saying that?

Alyric is correct. Ethylmercury exposure from vaccines has dropped to nearly zero since 2002, yet autism has become ever more prevalent.

The same happened in other countries that discontinued use of thimerosal. No more "mercury" in vaccines, but plenty of autism.

Maybe fishing vests will replace white coats to make up for the missing pockets!
