In her excellent piece about the Merck vaccine recall Linda Johnson anticipates -- correctly -- the coming storm from the crazies who believe that we should really be scared and angry about how the fact that kids don't even need vaccines to begin with:
"The recall is likely to heighten a debate over childhood vaccines, their safety and whether too many are required. Some parents are distrustful and suspect some vaccines of being linked to autism, although scientific studies have not shown a connection. "
Sad but true. And Johnson forgot to mention the barrage of bottom feeding trial lawyers who will try to sue Merck in the wake of the recall.
