My issue with the flu death stats isn’t that they use models and count deaths where the flu wasn’t the primary cause; it’s that they don’t tell people that’s what they’re doing.

I’m sure there are many who would throw out anything against their position on both sides.

I’m not willing to take any government agency’s word “as gospel.” I’m not saying my mind can’t or won’t change on that matter, but they haven’t earned my trust as yet. The article on the CDC’s alleged (heh) coverup is part of it. The flu stat issue is part of it. Politics tendencies are part of it. Agency staffing issues are part of it. You know, that sort of thing.

I haven’t seen you make any of the “people who think vaccines are dangerous are idiots”-type arguments. I just wanted to give examples of the useless/argumentative junk that is rampant.

As for Jenny McCarthy, I haven’t read or heard anything by her on vaccines, so I can’t really comment. If she is making faulty arguments or spinning the evidence, then it’s extra lame as she has a bigger microphone (although it’s much smaller than that held by the CDC).

Unfortunately, it’s not smaller. McCarthy and her husband (Jim Carrey) go on Oprah and talk about how vaccines caused their child’s autism and how people shouldn’t get their children vaccinated. That costs lives.

The CDC doesn’t get any kind of platform unless there’s a plague outbreak.

Now Oprah’s giving McCarthy her own talk show. Scary.
