Some people have it fucking coming. :mad: You know that would kill a lot of people who can’t get vaccinated and some who have, because vaccines aren’t perfect, particularly against new strains of a disease, right? Or you just don’t care? Ignorant or heartless. Your pick. ---

Heartless. It’s been a long, shitty day, and then I learn about this crap. Ugh. At this point, it could be smallpox for all I care. And I’m not even vaccinated against that. The sad fact is that at some point, these people are going to pay for their actions, and it’s not until some major event happens that they’ll finally get the fucking picture. You’re right, what I said was out of line (not as out of line as some of the other things I’ve said on the topic, I’ll tell you that much…), but god _damn_ these people need to feel the consequences of their actions. ---

Their article features the usual parade of antivax idiots like Polly Tommey, the U.K.'s B-actress answer\* to Jenny McCarthy and a devoted follower of Andrew Wakefield. Despite proclamations of “revolution” and earth-shattering significance, the CDC non-scandal seems to have gotten the major media attention it deserves, which is very little. It will live on forever in antivax fantasy-land, though. \*I may be overrating her, um, talents. ---

The Epoch Times is the news organ of [Falun Gong](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falun_Gong), which is an emerging religion or spiritual practice, so perhaps not the most scientifically rigorous source. The article references the anti-vaxer _response_ to a CNN piece that cited studies showing no connection between vaccines and autism. ---
