from the toxic-news dept.

From the (boneheaded) editor: My apologies. I pooched this one in a way that is exceptional, even for me. I humbly beg your forgiveness. The line for torches is on the left, and pitchforks is on the right. Please, move on to the next story and don't waste any further time on this one.

Regards,

    These things swing back and forth. For a while, there was an "OMG! Vaccines are bad!" that yes, was driven by idiots like McCarthy who have no scientific credibility but did have a platform. Sure, it'd be nice if we ever had a populace that's scientifically literate enough to hold on to a kernel of skepticism while also accepting that the science is really, really solid that vaccines are a net good. Since we don't, if we have to have an overreaction, I'd rather have an overreaction that promotes doing the sensible thing over the stupid thing.

    Public opinion has a lightly damped, second-order response to vaccine news.
