Vaccine Awareness Week, November 1-7

Published by snovella under Announcements
Comments: 14

The first week of November is, unofficially, Vaccine Awareness Week – at least according to anti-vaccine activists Barbara Loe Fisher and Joe Mercola. We at science-based medicine thought it would be a good idea to have our own science-based vaccine awareness week. Many of our fellow science bloggers are on board as well. We will use this site at aggregate as many science-based posts about vaccines and public health as we find. If you have or know of any that are not listed, please let us know in the comments and we will add it.

    There is a link to this page on the top post of the “Vaccinate Your Baby” Facebook page, perhaps the largest general pro-vaccine FB page (if you don’t count multipurpose pages like the CDC’s). It’s the FB page of the initiative of Every Child By Two.

    Anyone who is a FB user ought to think about hopping over and liking the page:

    I’m encouraged that Googling “Vaccine Awareness Week” brings up pages upon pages of pro-vaccine articles, with barely a antivax sentiment in sight.

    I’ve posted something about the way anecdotes that don’t support the anti-vaccine line get treated by the anti-vax folk:

    I’d missed that this was Vaccine Awareness Week, but coincidentally hosted a blogpost on “the potential for measles transmission in England” on Monday: http://jdc325.wordpress.com/2010/11/01/scare-stories-and-mmr-vaccine-what-if-there-is-a-measles-outbreak/
