So annoyed at our city paper. More vaccines

4 cases of measles in toronto. Lots of Talk about non vaccinating people, rates at schools, should this be mandatory.
The city newspaper (probably the most read in the whole province) has a front page article about young girls and Reactions to Gardasil. Really? Is this a good time to put that on the front page?
And even worse, the article lists about 4 people with issues that occurred soon after the vaccination. Then a paragraph on the second page states that none of the people's reactions in the story have any proven link to Gardasil, there is no medical investigation to prove one way or the other. What kind of reporting is that?! So a few people had strange things happened to them and said it was from a vaccine so they wrote about it? This is how Jenny McCarthy got on the front page in the first place. I will no longer blame her, I will only blame oprah and Main stream media for letting her talk.

'In the cases discussed in this article, it is the opinion of a patient or doctor that a particular drug has caused a side-effect. There is no conclusive evidence showing the vaccine caused a death or illness.'

Ugh that does suck. This reminds me of something I heard the other day. After the original Wakfield study came out, the manufracturs and CDC announced that Thiomersal was being pulled from vaccines. There was no real science to support this. THe guy on the news was saying how it was a case of real science fanning the flames of junk science. It gave people a reason to believe that it really was bad and to believe that they should not vaccinate or that the gov was hiding something.

Anyway, just kind of reminded me why the news media (or anyone really) should not be giving credit to junk science even if they warn people it is not supported. People don't hear that second part

I saw that yesterday and was disgusted. Although I even still kind of hate The Star on a good day.
