‘There’s a Difference Between Being Open-Minded and Idiotic’

September 22 2014
Written by Ken Alpern.

ANTI VAXXERS-I agree with the others-if you don't vaccinate your children, they should be kicked out of school for the health of the rest of us. (See ‘LA’s Elite Anti-Vaxxers …’)  

The doctor in Britain who opened his yap about the evils of immunization and autism have been kicked out of the profession, and the Lancet journal that published his tripe has repeatedly apologized. 

Ms. McCarthy is diverting her understandable angst at having an autistic child towards an end that is unnecessarily killing children. 

And Bob Gelfand below states it very well--what do you say to those who proclaim that President Bush and/or the Mossad intentionally caused 9/11, or that the NASA moonwalks were fake? 

There's a difference between being open-minded and idiotic. As a physician and a parent, I am infuriated at those elite Westside/Hollywood morons who don't immunize their children.
