Rotavirus vaccine craziness...

I had indicated in an earlier post that the rotavirus vaccine is potentially deadly for kids in the US compared to the rotavirus induced flu itself. Here is some more "capitalism"; the FDA has approved a pig virus tainted version for your infant. Apparently, the risk is low and all that the child can get is a variant of a pig wasting disease, never seen before, but hey, wont that be fun? They are using the same logic that is used to deny vaccine/autism link in their favor now. The logic is this: We will shoot any crap into your kid and make sure that you do not get into school if you do not pay up our friends in the vaccine industry. If anything goes wrong, we will heave a collective "Huh" and make you look stupid in front of our awesome scientific pseudoskills.
