Someday, likely soon, I’m going to go apeshit over vaccination/immunity/whatever misinformation, fear mongering and stupidity. Reblogged bmckinney: adamisacson: Kellogg, the nation’s largest cereal maker, is being called to task by critics who object to the swine flu-conscious claim now bannered in bold lettering on the front of Cocoa Krispies cereal boxes: “Now helps support your child’s IMMUNITY.” Of all claims on cereal boxes, “this one belongs in the hall of fame,” says Kelly Brownell, director of Yale University’s Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity. “By their logic, you can spray vitamins on a pile of leaves, and it will boost immunity.” (From USA Today.) I don’t want to sound like Bill Maher, but there’s no way I’m giving my kid the Fruity Pebbles vaccine. Stuff like this is one reason why I often do the grocery shopping by myself now that my daughter has learned to read. 6-year-olds with the power of reading are dangerous little animals.
