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.
