You know my process on any "scientific" claim is to investigate it before I accept it. If it is in a peer reviewed paper in an accepted journal I will accept it. I know I may otherwise get fooled by my own biases.

I don't care if he doesn't care if his kids die; but he's talking about making the Tetanus shot illegal; meaning that even after stepping on a dozen rusty nails, you can't get it. And I'm worried about ME as much as anyone's kids!
It maybe that America has to see a bunch of kids die before they come to their senses. America apparently needs to experience hard and bloody lessons which are entirely avoidable. I fear that is what we are facing.
