Why is it that people with strong opinions against vaccination also seem to suffer from a form of delusional grandiosity? Elizabeth Hart refers to her "research papers" and her "submission". She hasn't written any peer reviewed published papers that I can find, only a series of angry, cranky letters to official bodies and low rent publications, the latest of which is the unsolicited submission to the Australian PSIC.
I remember precisely what parvo and distemper outbreaks were like, and I am fed up with people claiming that vaccines are dangerous. Of course they carry risks, but the diseases they prevent are a lot worse. Its just that we are so unfamiliar with the horror of infectious disease that it has been erased from our collective memory.
Of course it is important to review vaccination policy, but get some balance.
