@shragi: They blow it out of proportion to seem like a massive epidemic and misinform the public.

This is a true statement that shragi makes–it occurred last winter with the so called Flu epidemic. This is from cnn:
“One hundred and eighty kids — this really hit me hard as the father of three kids — died last year from the flu. And the majority of them were unvaccinated,” said US Surgeon General Dr. Jerome M. Adams. speaking at a news conference hosted by the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases on Thursday. “Flu vaccinations save lives.”
Oh really? Would not a scientist have to compare this number with how many died from the vaccine? Either the US Surgeon General does not understand basic research methodology or he is misleading the public.
