Have you read the article Amy Wallace wrote about the anti-vaccine movement? If not, you should:
http://www.wired.com/magazine/2009/10/ff_waronscience
I agree with her 100% and admire her bravery in the face of the responses she has received:
"I’ve been called stupid, greedy, a whore, a prostitute, and a “fking lib.” I’ve been called the author of “heinous tripe.”
J.B. Handley, the founder of Generation Rescue, the anti-vaccine group that actress Jenny McCarthy helps promote, sent an essay title” “Paul Offit Rapes (intellectually) Amy Wallace and Wired Magazine.” In it, he implied that Offit had slipped me a date rape drug. “The roofie cocktails at Paul Offit’s house must be damn good,” he wrote. Later, he sent a revised version that omitted rape and replaced it with the image of me drinking Offit’s Kool-aid. That one was later posted at the anti-vaccine blog Age of Autism."
Oh, and I got an e-mail from Wired last night that they were forwarded the letter I wrote Amy and are publishing it as soon as they verify my info.
