David Gorski is a surgical oncologist, and also a well-known though bepseudonymed blogger for Science Blogs. His anti-antivaccination stance is legendary, for good reason: he is incredibly well-spoken and his posts railing against the pro-measles (haha) crowd routinely eviscerates them.
But none of his posts has ever done so in such a remarkably thorough fashion as in this lengthy post in which he destroys the movement from top to bottom.
(H/t Bad Astronomy)
The strength of the post, in my opinion - is to hold the heroes of the anti-vaccine movement up to the light and watch them wither.
I have no problem with scientific questions about the safety of vaccines - but this "I know in my heart" nonsense has got to stop. Make with the science, or shut the hell up.
