		<description><![CDATA[I agree with your assessment of Jenny McCarthy, but a few condescending comments to mothers of autistic children are the least of her transgressions.  For spearheading the anti-vaccine movement in the US she&#039;s earned a special place in... well, wherever the place is where they send people who get hundreds of people killed and thousands subjected to horrible illness just because they can&#039;t bear to think that &quot;sometimes bad things just happen and kids end up developing in ways that are not 100% normal.&quot;  

And thanks for putting my family at risk by allowing the resurgence of preventable diseases like measles and pertussis by reducing herd immunity.   Nice job, douche-nozzles.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nick:

That&#039;s how I read it, too.  It seems like it is exactly the same logic as &quot;walking on by&quot; torture or assassinations or domestic spying or whatever other awful and illegal stuff we do in the War On Terror.  And it is consistent that an Obama supporter buys this logic, because Obama has been fighting hard to keep us in the dark about both past and future misbehavior of the feds in these matters.  

Of course, the most plausible reading is that this guy is simply a hack who has no principles, only a side.  I don&#039;t know his work--is it at all likely he would make such a statement wrt a Republican scandal investigated by Democratic congressmen?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[#36, I don&#039;t really think that was Granderson&#039;s point. He was saying, rather specifically, we need to stop butting our nose into what the government does BECAUSE what they do is ugly, or dirty or morally dubious. 
Your diagnosis of a serious problem in America is spot on, but Granderson seems to advocate soemthing that would exascerbate (sp) it, namely, not knowing what the people we put in charge are doing.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Much as you may disagree with LZ Granderson, he has a point. Nearly all of the government actions which Radley documents so well stem, in the end, from fears the American people indulge and from things they want. From forfeiture to puppycide to swat teams to limits on soft drink sizes: no malign alien spaceship sends down nannies to impose these on the people. If the American public, or even just the public in one state demanded changes in the laws, swat teams would no longer serve drug warrants, police officers who shot dogs would suffer severe penalties, and nothing the Fraternal Order of Police or other interest groups could do would save the status quo. Government excess, from the drone war to Iran-Contra happen because the public wants them to, or because the public wants some other end and will accept government excess, if necessary, as a means to that end.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I live in Singapore, where I know full well the person making my lunch next to may have arrived two days ago from rural Bangladesh, and the person on the bus next to me may have just gotten off the plane from Laos. I wish there were MORE vaccines which could then be made mandatory. Where&#039;s my dengue fever vaccine? Malaria? Can I double my children up on some things, just in case? Extra MMR, screw it, why not. The idea of babies suffering and even dying from the horrors of what the Chinese call the &quot;100 day cough,&quot; whooping cough, during which infants can fracture ribs in their coughing fits--it&#039;s a preventable tragedy, and people should be held responsible.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&lt;blockquote&gt;That also means people like you bear personal responsibility for the autism spectrum disorders that arose from that policy. You can be as much of a self-righteous, technocratic, statist asshole as you want in favor of vaccines. However, that does not absolve you under your logic.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I never said ANYTHING about the state AT ALL in my post.  You pulled that out of ... well, somewhere.

As to responsibility for the autism, even assuming it was true, I would be COMPLETELY fine with that.  1 case of autism for every, what 10 or so child deaths prevented?  Yeah, I&#039;m good with that.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Given that Merck now has whistleblowers bringing out evidence that the Mumps vaccine is a highly fraudulent product...&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yeah, because the mumps just went away by itself... giggle.

&lt;blockquote&gt;You’re standing with a company that makes the military industrial complex look like angels.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I&#039;m not &quot;standing with&quot; any company - I&#039;m standing with the science, with the well-established facts that vaccines prevent disease.  I&#039;m standing with the decades of using vaccines before any spike in autism, and the complete lack of correlation between the two.  The bad behaviour (or good behaviour, either, for that matter) of any company does not change those facts.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Most of the evidence I’ve seen suggests that it is the vaccine schedule, not the vaccines, that is to blame.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Then MAKE THAT CASE.  I&#039;m ambivalent on it - in fact, you&#039;re the only one even bringing it up.  Nobody (that I&#039;ve seen) is saying we have to do it exactly this way - if a later schedule would be better, FINE WITH ME.

But if that&#039;s really the case, then not getting vaccinated at all really doesn&#039;t address the issue, does it?  It just leaves people to die from diseases that were conquered years ago.

I stand by what I said earlier: those who freak out about this have the blood of innocent children on their hands.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The cops had several injuries, and the BMW drive who couldn&#039;t be bothered to properly seat his young child had multiple license suspensions. While none of four articles I found give a blow-by-blow, but he seems he gave pretty good for what he got, with the officers suffering scrapes and bruises.

Multiple license suspensions are not evidence of citizen of the year, but he was not charged with DUI which I would have guessed for someone with a suspended license. Oh, and the Beemer was a &#039;94, so not evidence he is a plutocrat. That said, neither is there much evidence for the assaulted-fists-with-face headline.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mike T, the idea that vaccines in any way contribute to autism or any other serious health effect has been completely debunked. The original Andrew Wakefield study was completely fraudulent.

And what&#039;s really evil about these anti-vax people is not that their own kids can get sick from not having vaccines, but that they ruin &quot;herd immunity&quot;. When babies are too young for vaccines they rely on herd immunity. But because of the anti-vax movement, there have been breakouts of diseases like whooping cough in the US for the first time in decades, and babies are catching the disease and dying.

So responsible parents who want to vaccinate their children are having their child die while still too young to vaccinate, all because some idiots prefer believing Jenny McCarthy to the scientific literature.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[@Mike T
&lt;blockquote&gt;That also means people like you bear personal responsibility for the autism spectrum disorders that arose from that policy.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

There is no evidence autism is caused by vaccines.  The rest of your post is just ad-hominem attack against disconnected groups - that people who advocate vaccinations are personally responsible for autism and Merck is bad.

Your post sucks, dawg.]]></description>
