In my ...Morning Jack - as always, a pithy comment!! In my experience, it's personalities and the 'natural' end of the public sector who are in the 'cons' group. I've not, personally, encountered doctors against vaccination, although, I'm sure we have our quota here too. What there isn't - for the masses - is clear information that's easily available that shows the stats for infant mortality and disability pre and post vaccination. The information IS available, but you have to look at it. Social media has something to answer to, as well, given the ease of pushing an agenda on various platforms. My Facebook feed abounds with 'cures' for auto-immune diseases, for instance - and there are NONE. That's just based on my own preferences. No doubt, those following baby and child pages will be getting more than should be out there pushing the no vaccination agenda. ANYONE can post this stuff, and anyone and everyone can take it on board, and clearly do. You may be on to something with your AWS theory!Kazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06883203750700550391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-679982583847135662.post-27503004783748001632015-01-08T08:27:03.237-08:002015-01-08T08:27:03.237-08:00Good morning... and good work.

You make it sound like on one side of the room are 997 medical professionals who favor vaccination, and on the other are three who don't. Here in the States, you have a thousand trained, <i>credentialed</i> medical professionals, a couple of whom oppose vaccination, but all of whom can point to some education or experience, some body of knowledge that has led them to their professional opinions. On the other side of the room you have some famous actor who may have read a first-aid pamphlet at some point, or an outspoken advocate who got her medical degree as a gynecology model in <i>Playboy;</i> and who do you suppose the unwashed masses are going to listen to? Before you can tackle the vaccination problem, you would have to stamp out AWS (Adult Willful Stupidity). That's a syndrome that seems more resistant to a cure than AIDS.Jack Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14030471723776022615noreply@blogger.com
