How many more lives have to be damaged or lost before people stop taking this man seriously? How many children have to suffer before parents look at the actual science behind vaccines and not the work of a fraud. "It is the greatest happiness of the greatest number that is the measure of right and wrong." In other words, "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one." In our case, the health and safety of our nation, outweigh the "rights" of the few. As a parent you do not have a “right” or a “choice” to put others (or even your children) in danger because you refuse to understand how modern medicine and science work.
In response to all the debate concerning SB 277,,,During a conference in Orange County held by the group Moms in Charge, Wakefield complained that his career as a scientist had been ruined.Anti-vaxx scientist whines about being ‘discredited’ as he pushes vaccine fears on Orange County moms
“As someone who has published science for a long, long time I’ve realized that they can simply destroy that,” he said during the April conference. “You can destroy a career of a scientist in five minutes — in five minutes. And it will take a lifetime to restore — if ever. It is so easily done.”
“There is no smoke without fire,” Wakefield continued. “You mentioned the word fraud, and it is all over. One of the things I have noticed about our community is that they play into the pharmaceutical industry’s public relations line. They say ‘discredited, discredited.’ Every article you write, write ‘discredited’ before Wakefield. ‘Discredited, discredited, discredited’ until it sinks into the consciousness of everybody.”
“And even our own people who know this is going on say, look, we can’t appear on a stage or in an article or support whatever that person is doing because they’ve made them discredited. What do we do by doing that? We fulfil the agenda of the public relations company of the pharmaceutical industry.”
The SkepVet has put together a nice blog post in support of this measure with some useful links, additional information about the legislation, and sources of information concerning the relevant vaccines. As noted, "Opponents of this legislation include extreme anti-vaccine activists who have likened the measure to the Nazi Holocaust and have threatened violence against legislators who support it. Though misguided and misinformed, these views could intimidate politicians into not taking action on this important issue, so it is important that they hear from more moderate citizens with all points of view." A comment also provides some serious yet comical relief:
