I’ve posted enough on the anti-vaccination idiots over at Right Thinking. So I’ll link here to one of Orac’s latest posts on their nutbaggery.

You know who I feel sorry for? The deluded parents of kids with autism. Late-onset autism is a terrible thing and devastating to parents. They are desperate to find an explanation — just as people with cancer are. In come this anti-science anti-industry scare-mongering luddites. They throw them a rope — it’s vaccines that ruined your kid’s life. And parents, being parents, grab onto it desperately. They embrace what is, let’s be honest, a far left agenda that blames greedy corporate interests for the “epidemic” of autism. They sell themselves to political opportunists.

I can’t blame the parents. They’re the victims. But I can blame the pseudo-scientists and political advocates who are milking others’ misfortune for fame, fortune and a sense of self worth. What does it tell you that the leading spokeswoman for the “Green our Vaccines” garbage is a dim bulb celebrity whose fame and fortune is fading in direction proportion to the sinking of her bustline?
