Anti-vaccination arguments are fatally flawed | Article | The Punch
I'm absolutely shocked this is a thing. The number of 'conscientious objectors' in Australia has leaped from about 4000 to 30 000 in 10 years and the vaccination rate in the UK has slumped. It's incredible that a bloke like Nossal has been forced to come out and state what would seem to me to be the bleeding obvious.
I'm not even going to pretend to be unbiased on this, the evidence for vaccination in general speaks for itself. To be very clear, the study this whole hysteria is based upon has been withdrawn from publication from The Lancet because it's been conclusively discredited. Andrew Wakefield wasn't merely wrong, his study was fraudulent and he's no longer able to register as a physician. Everyone still speaking on vaccination in the negative is not speaking in concert with the available science. At all.
Anyone got a credible alternative viewpoint on this? Because I just don't see one at this point in time.
