seems like a good time to plug Paul Offit's new book. I wish more people would read this rather than Dr. Sears's garbage. I see that book plugged on here so often; a little turnabout is fair play.
TTC#2 October 2011. June 2012 diagnosed with mild PCOS and both tubes blocked.
10/1/12 miracle BFP 11/12/12 missed m/c (9w2d), baby stopped growing at 7 weeks
1/16/13 BFP, EDD 9/27/13, m/c 1/19/13
2/12/13 BFP, EDD 10/25/13 Please stick little one
A stowaway on board!
I had dinner last night with two Drs (one a Pedi and one an ER physician) and both of them said they are seeing more and more of the negative impact of the anti-vaccine movement and how frustrating it is that parents are CLINGING to all of the "reasons" for not vaccinating. This is going to become a public health CRISIS soon enough. People freak out about H1N1 but that is *nothing* compared to what will happen when herd immunity stops working. Mass chaos and lots of sick kids, or worse.

A book based on scientific fact, clinical research, and common sense? Pfftt. Where's the fun in that? I'd much rather place the future of public health in the hands of the ex-host of "Singled Out".

I just downloaded it for my Kindle. I'm sure it's an interesting read. FWIW, Dr. Sear's book isn't anti-vaccine.

His book lends credence to parents' unfounded fear of vaccines over and over again.
The picture is not part of my sig - I just posted the image to dramatically show the title.
I did include a link, btw - click on "Paul Offit's new book."
I clicked the link to make my purchase. Amazon should give you a cut, LOL

If you could let them know that, that would be great.

I'm going to be lazy and not go back and see if this article from NPR has been posted or not. But I thought this was interesting.
