Please get your kids vaccinated

Just…please.

Anti-vaccination fervor on my local parenting list has reached panic levels, and so far there have been a grand total of TWO posts begging people to not drink the Kool-Aid.  And one of them was written by me.

Vaccines save lives.  End of story.  To everyone who says that it’s “a complicated issue,” I would like to ask you - do you want your kid to die of polio?  If the answer is NO, then get them vaccinated.  There, I just uncomplicated it for you.   Now go read what Science-Based Medicine has to say on the issue, because those guys are smart.

Taking over the interwebs one social networking site at a time

I’ve just registered at Sproglogs and entered in all of Pickle’s height and weight info from his yellow card. It’s all information I have, but now in handy interbunny chart form!

I haven’t added anything else because I already have all his pictures up on Flickr and videos on Youtube and milestone “diary entries” here. But if I ever need to look at his growth curve online, I am *all* *set*.
