I agree she gets too much blame and I'd be surprised if all that many people made the choices they did based on what she says. And even if they did, it's still not her fault. She has an opinion. It's up to the individual whether you agree with her or not or take her advice.

Really, the level of hate she gets and the hysteria over the whole measles thing is pretty ridiculous. First of all, the vast majority of people in US were vaccinated or are immune from having had it before the vaccine. Second, the fatality rate is something like less than one percent. And how many cases are there in the US right now really? Last I heard, it was fifty. Out of 325 million people. But it's being hyped as if it's the influenza outbreak of 1918 with bodies and potential bodies piling up while Jenny McCarthy laughs manically.

The sad thing is that I'm seeing the exact same people who rightfully criticized the freak out over ebola freaking out even more over measles. The same people who didn't want people quarantined without symptoms of ebola want all unvaccinated people out of schools. One poster even suggested they should all be put in tent cities away from the general population. It's crazy. I don't get the fear and I don't get the hysteria and I certainly don't get the hate. And that's what it is. Hate. For no rational reason.

And to all the 'one death is too many' people. Get real. We don't freak out over everything that kills us. The same people screaming about measles aren't screaming about car accidents or ladder falls or anything else that might get us. If I lost my immunity tomorrow, I still wouldn't be scared I'd die from measles or even that I'd contract it. But I'm beginning to be afraid of how easy it is to whip people up into a drooling, hate-fueled frenzy over anything and everything.

You've obviously never seen community response to a drunk driving accident that kills or injures someone other than the drunk driver.

People get incredibly pissed off when something is very easily preventable, but occurs anyway because someone's ego meets their lack of common sense, and it's someone other than the idiot who's harmed by it, which is the case with the measles outbreaks.

Incidentally, measles are much, much easier to contract than ebola. You don't have to roll in the waste of someone symptomatically affected to catch it, you just have to be proximate to someone who's contagious but may well not have developed the symptoms yet.

Wow.

Car accidents aren't generally caused by willful ignorance over very simple things. (People do freak out about, say, drunk driving because THAT'S the sort of thing that's so easy to avoid doing that unnecessarily endangers lives!) And yes, one life IS too many when it is SO EASY - I mean so fucking easy! - to prevent measles!! Plus the people who are likeliest to die from it are those who are likeliest to not be able to have the vaccine because of compromised immune systems or other factors.

And wow, seriously?? You're not contagious with Ebola unless you're symptomatic (or recently dead from it). You can only get it from contact with the body fluids of an infected or recently dead person. Measles is fucking airborne. AIRBORNE. THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS.
