Paul Offit's Book "Autism's False Prophets" Is Rallying Resistance to the Antivaccine Crusade - NYTimes.com
The New York Times reports: "Dr. Offit’s book, published in September by Columbia University Press, has been widely endorsed by pediatricians, autism researchers, vaccine companies and medical journalists who say it sums up, in layman’s language, the scientific evidence for vaccines and forcefully argues that vulnerable parents are being manipulated by doctors promoting false cures and lawyers filing class-action suits."

Comment: It's a sad testament to the state of science education in the United States that these parents actually believe that withholding vaccines from their children is actually helping them. They are putting their children and the local school systems at risk of catching easily prevented diseases. It's also sad that some on the conspiracy fringe of the BP community promote this "vaccine is dangerous" idea.
