[quote]It is of course another milestone, complete with an “aww”-inducing photo of Max. But this one set the Internet aflame in a way a gingerbread house never could, because this post is not really about Max at all — many see it as her billionaire father showing his hand in the vaccine debate.
Many of Zuckerberg’s 47 million-some followers saw the post as a not-so-subtle expression of support for vaccinations, the public health matter at the center of an ongoing debate on modern science and civil liberties.
“Thanks for protecting your child, and other children who can’t be vaccinated, and for supporting science!” wrote user Allison Hagood. “Adorable baby.”
(A major element of vaccine advocacy is “herd immunity,” which protects an entire community, including those who are not immune, when a critical portion of the population has been immunized.)
Another user, Elsa Sakz, countered: “Vaccine is poison for human kind. It kills more people than it helps. I wish people don’t take it as an example here.”[/quote]
Thoughts, Flood?
Try to stay civil, please.

There is absolutely no proof that vaccines have even the slightest chance at causing autism... Of course he did the right thing. It's because of vaccines that certain diseases are now extinct. And I'm actually living proof that vaccines don't cause autism, when I was a baby I was given the MMR jab (measles, mumps and rubella) at the supposed "risk" of developing autism and so far I still haven't developed anything remotely similar to the actual defect... And no one I've actually ever met even, has had autism (well one lad I knew had asperges syndrome but I somewhat doubt that was because of vaccines)
