FYI, there’s a poll floating around on causes.com about vaccines (full disclosure – I started it). It’s been hijacked by anti-vaxxers. Responders are asked to finish the sentence: “If I had a young child I would give my child…”. Currently 47% are answering “No vaccines at all. I would get a religious/philosophical exemption. I may vaccinate my child homoeopathically.”

It’s a silly poll, not scientific in any way and essentially pointless. However, the comments are lively and the antivaxxers as rabid as they get. And it’s alway better when they don’t win.

So, if you can help, please let people know about it. Thanks.
