Neil Youngs opinion is as relevant as mine is. It is not news and should be dismissed out of hand. People should not have to waste time refuting propaganda like this. Same with Jenny Macarthy and her Vaccines. The media should never have given her anytime to speak on the issue because there was only one side. It should have been just scientist after scientist talking about how beneficial vaccines are. There is no need to present the opinon of the uneducated.

If you read the journal article above you have a lot of educated peoples opinions who should be published and not Neal Young's rants.
