And now for something "completely different", er controversial

I came across this on Facebook today (thanks Chris)!!

After spending a good 15 years making and supporting vaccine quality at Merck, I got a little tired of the anti-vaccination movements supported by charlatans like Andrew Wakefield. This british gastroentreologist conducted some poorly designed "research" showing linkages between autism and administration of childhood vaccines containing thimerosal, a mercury containing preservative since banned.

The studies were flawed, an outbreak of measles and other controllable diseases were easily attributable to the anti vaccine movement, but none speak how I feel better than Penn and Teller!
