Bonehead Of The Day Award

So, How's That Anti-Vaccination Thing Working Out For You?
7 babies died unnecessarily from Whooping Cough in California. Next demon? Expect Polio to return.

Eight people, 7 of them infants, have now died from Whooping Cough (Pertussis) in a California outbreak. A disease everyone thought would never be seen again in the US. All because some people believe vaccinations are, ironically, harmful. Reminds me of a t-shirt, "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."

What next?

"...And you start to see things like Whooping Cough coming back. This is the canary in the coal mine. Last year we saw children die of Measles, and I worry that if we see Whooping Cough and Measles, that Polio can't be far away." -- Dr. Nancy Snyderman

Anyone still not wanting to vaccinate? A child dying from Whooping Cough is one of the most heart breaking things. If you have the stomach for it, or you choose not to vaccinate, you can get a bit of an idea from this YouTube link.

Sometimes ignorance is funny. Sometimes it frees demons to walk amongst us and kill our children.
