VBAC Facts Academy, the Trump University of natural childbirth

Claiming natural immunity is better than vaccine immunity is like claiming walking from Boston to San Francisco is better than taking a plane
If there’s one thing that anti-vaxxers are sure about it’s that natural immunity is better than vaccine induced immunity. They’re wrong. Claiming that natural immunity is better than vaccine immunity is like claiming that walking to San Francisco from Boston is better than traveling by airplane.

Pity Donald Trump
I’ve made no secret of my contempt for Donald Trump and everything he has promoted. As I watch his candidacy implode I am torn between relief and pity, relief for the country and our future, pity for Trump himself. Why should we pity Donald Trump?

Anti-vaxxers, do you know the difference between an element and a compound?
Anti-vaxxers don’t know much about vaccines. Even worse, they don’t know much about chemistry and biochemistry, which means that they can’t understand why they are so wrong about even their simplest claims. Consider their erroneous claims about the “neurotoxins” in vaccines including mercury and aluminum. Those claims are based on confusion about the most basic […]

What kind of monsters cheer on a woman who breaks her baby’s arm?
Imagine for a moment that a new mother has been warned repeatedly not to leave her baby on the bed unattended. Her “intuition” tells her that the naysayers are wrong and she leaves her baby unattended on the bed, but when she returns to the room she notices that her baby is rolling off the […]
