Iron Lung Foundation Launches "Just Say No To Vaccines" Campaign
New PSA Communicates "Let Nature Take Its Course" Message
NEW YORK (March 17) -- The Iron Lung Foundation is encouraging parents to "Just Say No To Vaccines" with a PSA launched on its YouTube channel.
"Parents should know they are not alone in not immunizing their kids against measles, whooping cough, polio and other illnesses and that living a natural lifestyle in the long run is the best way to keep children healthy," said Eleanor Delano, the Foundation's director of new media.
The PSA features a Manhattan mom with her proudly unimmunized child sitting on her lap . . . with a cough strangely reminiscent of whooping cough.
According to Ms. Delano, "Everyone can see that the child has pertussis and the sky didn't fall. We produced this PSA to show everyone that 'natural' immunity to infectious disease is nature's way. It's part of living a life in harmony with the planet."
