ABC's hiring of Jenny McCarthy: a decision that could cost lives

"You're DU's chief anti-vaxxer."

I think vaccines should be as safe as possible, and I'm glad that the whole cell DPT vaccine was replaced by a safer vaccine, thanks to an earlier generation of parents who spoke out.

I don't think vaccines should be required unless a disease poses a public health risk -- in other words, that it can be spread through casual contact.

I think, since we do require vaccines, the Vaccine Court shouldn't make the few parents with injured children -- who have suffered injury in the service of keeping the rest of the population healthier -- wait years before receiving compensation for vaccine-related injuries.

On the other hand, my children and I are all vaccinated, even though my sister got encephalitis and died less than 24 hours after her 6 month vaccines. And yet, in your view, I am "DU's chief anti-vaxxer."

As I said, you seem to have a problem with nuance. Everything's black and white from your perspective, but not from mine.
