Thanks, Anti-Vaxxers. You Just Brought Back Measles in NYC

Russell Saunders writes in The Daily Beast, Thanks, Anti-Vaxxers. You Just Brought Back Measles in NYC "This is sheer lunacy.  Just over a dozen years ago this illness was considered eliminated in our country, and this year people are being hospitalized for it. All due to the hysteria about a safe, effective vaccine. All based on nothing.

There is no legitimate scientific controversy about whether or not vaccines are safe.  The original study that started us down this insane path by linking the MMR vaccine to autism has been retracted outright. The evidence against administering the MMR vaccine to healthy individuals is utterly without merit."
