I like a comment. "Conspiracy theories are the myths of our era."

OMG, I hate the vaccine denialists! When it comes to motherhood I fit in mostly with the attachment parenting crowd, but the anti-vaccination stance rampant in the community bugs the crap out of me.

Occasionally someone will make a well reasoned argument for *delaying* vaccination and I'll nod and think "Oh that's reasonable." and then at the end they'll say "Oh yeah, and vaccinations don't work anyway" and I'll bang my head against the computer.

As someone who lives abroad and plans to drag my kid all around the developing world, I don't have the luxury of believing in conspiracy theories regarding vaccinations. I'll take modern medicine thank you very much.
