The fact that there are other health problems in the world does not mean that anti-vaccination rhetoric has any merit. This link is junk. I only bother to comment because for some reason it's getting upvotes.

From the linked article

""We should be getting measles, mumps, rubella, chicken pox, these are the rights of our children to get it," said Dr. Jack Wolfson of Wolfson Integrative Cardiology in Paradise Valley. Wolfson does not believe in vaccination."

By that rhetoric why use any medicine for any decease at all?

It's interesting that he didn't add polio and smallpox to the list. No one is stupid enough to wish their kids have polio or smallpox.

Just to remember: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poliomyelitis#Prognosis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallpox#Prognosis
