He does touch base on many of the diseases that we are being vaccinated for, including measles.
I think there are more than enough questions raised to promote an intelligent conversation, rather than mindless vitriol from both extremes of the issue. |
Given that he's a chiropractor, I'd ignore his title of "Doctor" with regards to his credibility. Really, the fact that he's a chiropractor makes him less credible, since the entire field is built upon a foundation of pseudo-science.
And that doesn't even get into the junk he's writing. He repeatedly implies that if you don't die from a disease (or even if there's only a small chance of death), that vaccination serves no purpose. I'm sure all the people who are permanently disabled from polio or suffer from chronic illness due to contracting Hepatitis would disagree. I mean, who can disagree with this logic:

How do you contract Hepatitis A? Eat food that someone else pooped in that is infected with Hepatitis A. There are no statistical reports of deaths from Hep A, just a 0.0098% chance of contracting it. The solution is good sanitation, hygiene, and nutrition. Eating out is going to be a risk but again, I'll take my chances of eating food prepared by other people.

I really like this beauty of a chart as well which compares the the rates of various maladies of vaccinated children in a study in Germany and compares it to the results from a self-reported survey on an anti-vaccine website. Real impressive "science" there:
Of course in that scientifically rigorous vaccine-injury.info survey the sample is made up almost entirely of people who shun science based medicine, so it really isn't too shocking that the incidences of diagnosed illnesses is much lower in a sample that doesn't even go to real doctors for diagnoses. I'm sure if there was a Chi imbalance section on there though, the red line would be off the chart.
