of the anti-vaccine, anti-science, anti-medicine position.

We need to reduce risks as much as possible, worldwide, we need to solve issues with pollution, lack of access to medicine, clean water, food, etc. for everyone. We are not going to solve this by attacking science, evidence-based medicine, vaccines, etc. Those are what will SOLVE these problems, NOT browsing the organic aisle in the local grocery store, or going to the nearest alternative "medicine" store to by their latest snake oil. No, what will solve these issues are evidence based reasoning in economics and politics, and support of science to reduce disease and clean up the environment.
