Vaccine skeptics "Crackpots"

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past twelve months then undoubtedly you are aware of the mass media hype that is "Swine Flu". Recently a vaccine has been created to treat this virus. However, there has been much skepticism that people should immunize as the worst of the pandemic is over. The fact remains that more people died from the more common flu in Australia than that of swine flu in the past 6 months.

It would seem that the media are urging people to dispel those skeptical of the vaccine as crackpots and conspiracy theorists. Full article here

"This group has the potential to do enormous damage, and my personal view is they should treated as the crackpots and conspiracy theorists that they are." - Micheal Wooldrige

I do not see how this group has the potential to do any damage at all, if anything they are likely to encourage others to start asking questions and researching things before making decisions. To dismiss these free thinkers as crackpots is just insulting and provides no attempt to dispel any of their findings. This is the shallow nature of the media today.

People should be encourage to learn more about the chemicals they are putting into their bodies not shunned as crackpots for it!
