After some thought, I've decided there need to be more voices out there advocating for evidence-based medicine and health policy. The anti-science movements have gained too much ground in recent years, and it scares me. More specifically, I have been disgusted by the ugly anti-vaccine campaign waged for some time now by JB Handley and his associates. In future posts, I will lay out the case for vaccines - why they are an important tool for public health in our increasingly crowded world. I will also not shy away from saying that they are not perfect. However, the benefits far outweigh the costs. Finally, I will attempt to make sense of the alleged increase in autism and what the underlying causes are of this developmental disorder.
Sincerely,
A Scientist
