		<description><![CDATA[It has become blatantly obvious after reading the first few posts that Vin and Notovacs have absolutely no understanding of the scientific method of research and rigorous peer review that is undertaken before a paper is published. 

But it should also be obvious that for every amazing technology that science (medicine in particular) develops, no matter how well evidenced, will meet opposition from those who are ill informed and sceptical for whatever reason (it should be mentioned just how ridicilous Vin sounds when he starts talking about government conspiracy theories surrounding genocide). Take smallpox variolation for example. How many fools caused thousands of deaths due to an unfounded belief that smallpox vaccination did not work.  Smallpox has basically been eradicated from the earth (apart from being used in some of the earlier mentioned conspiratorial genocides). I consider reading this article, and spending two minutes writing this response to perhaps be the most useless exercise in futility I have ever undertaken.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You have the freedom to choose sure, but that freedom doesn&#039;t extend to there being no consequences for your actions. Not vaccinating your children puts others at risk, there&#039;s no disputing that, and when your behaviour puts other people in danger than the government has every right to step in.

This has nothing to do with any particular political leaning, it&#039;s more of a humanist ideal than anything else. You do not, in fact, have the right to put other&#039;s health at risk without there being consequences to these actions and if you have a problem with that then I suggest you look at any other developed country as the laws are near identical.

Somehow this equates to socialism? I&#039;m not sure I follow you here.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last I checked Australia was still a democracy with certain freedoms of speech and choice, this thank fuck is one of them.

Now I have had my children vaccinated to a point but fuck anyone telling me I HAVE to or else, no leftist green/ALP voting dick suck is going to take that right away without a fucking bloodbath.

Fuck you Geek and your Fabian fucked up ideals.]]></description>
