If you do not value vaccines for your dog or child, you are an idiot.
If you delay vaccinating your dog or child because you want to "space out" all the shots, you are an idiot.
If you are worried about mercury or aluminum in vaccines, you are an idiot.
I could say it nicer, but why?
Most idiots are as tone deaf as a stump and squawk nonsense louder than a brain-dead parrot.
Why have respect for these people? I refuse.
But if you want to hear it all said nice and sweet (and on National Public Radio), then play the audio at this link.
For the record, I consider vaccination an intelligence test, and I am sick and tired of know-nothings trying to scare people away from common-sense health care.
Come on people -- Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carey are experts at telling fart jokes, not health care!
Does this mean I salute over-vaccinating either kids or dogs?
Of course not.
Anyone who has read this blog knows that.
I have written about the The Billion Dollar Vaccine Scam, and I have "baked in" the information to dozens of other posts, and written a magazine article on the topic as well.
I have an entire page on the main web site that makes the point, I have quoted such vaccine authorities as Dr. Ron Schultz, and even given a short history of vaccines in general, and the distemper vaccine in particular.
But am I going to spend one second saluting the fear-mongering going on over mercury and aluminum in vaccines?
Nope. Not going to do it.
Nor am I going to advise people to delay vaccination or "space them out" because someone who salutes homeopathy, Chinese herbal medicine, and "flower essence therapy" has suggested it might be a good idea.
Dogs are too important for that.
Kids too, I might add.

What really gets my goat is the outrageous selfishness of people who choose not to vaccinate their children.
Herd immunity is a very real (and beautiful) thing. It means that tiny infants and elderly grandmothers and anyone else who CAN'T be vaccinated without a legitimate risk of ill effects are much less likely to encounter diseases that could kill them. If the vast majority of the population is vaccinated, the little minority of the population who can't be vaccinated safely is also protected.
Which means: if your unvaccinated-because-we-don't-believe-in-vaccines kids happen to expose my grandma to diphtheria, I'm going to be really ticked.
Unfortunately, concepts like "immune system", "herd immunity", and "common sense" don't really seem to be easily-understood by the vaccines-will-kill-my-kid crowd.
Well said Megan!
It's really not hard to look up the CDC or HHS or FDA on vaccines. What I *love* are the folks who majored in art history (if they attended college at all), and who refuse to give their last names, explaining that they are really experts on vaccines. Right. And I am the Queen Mother.

If the MMR vaccine is so OMGBADZ0RZ, then why doesn't EVERYONE who get it have autism?
I say you do another "Let's try science" thing with vaccines and kids: now that the main MMR/autism link has been retracted (my breakfast tasted so much better after I read that), let's find things that DO support a healthy childhood with appropriate vaccinations!
I'd start, but I've got a physio exam coming up for which I need to study. I'll definitely make a note to look up some stuff though!
