Interesting/disturbing article by Cathy Seipp on some Californians' attitude toward vaccination. These people are a danger to the rest of us. (via Peaktalk)
Dangerous Witchdoctoring - One mother and bad trends.
I love L.A., but every so often I come across something that makes me think maybe people here really are crazier than average. Take this horrifying Sept. 24 Los Angeles Times story about Christine Maggiore, an influential HIV-positive activist who believes that HIV doesn’t cause AIDS, isn’t infectious, shouldn’t be treated with “toxic” anti-retroviral drugs like AZT and certainly needn’t prevent HIV-positive mothers like herself from breastfeeding...
Also, as Pieter suggests, see Cathy's blog entry and comments...at least until they start debating the merits of circumcision at which point the anti-circumcision zealotry starts crossing my eyes.
