Opposition to vaccinations is Alex Jones thinking gone suburban -- believers are misinformed, but they think they're the savvy ones, the ones who really know what's going on.- Steve M. at No More Mister Nice Blog, on the possibility that Jenny “Vaccinations Are a Big Pharma Plot to Give Your Kids Autism” McCarthy may replace Joy Behar on "The View."
Steve's characterization of the anti-vaccination crowd reminds me of the anti-fluoridation crowd in Portland's recent embarrassing debacle. The opponents of fluoridation – at least the ones I dealt with – were, by and large, obviously certain that they knew what was what. And this drove the pro-fluoride people – who were certain that they knew what was what – nuts.
