Speaking of The Stupid and medical care: opposition to vaccination

Orac has a piece in Respectful Insolence that brings up the current wave of woo concerning vaccinations and the alleged connection between thimerosal and autism. It's a continuous source of irritation to him (and myself, for that matter), but go ahead and read it. 

In case you were curious where my "photo" comes from

I noticed that Wikipedia finally got around to putting up a page concerning one of the best hard sf-based anime series ever made, IMHO.

Feel free to peruse that or this Geocities (!) site, if you wish.
