What's western medicine done for you lately? Well, did you die of measles yet?

I know there are a lot of people out there who aren't sure about vaccinations, especially for kids. I always wondered where the idea that they cause autism came from. From a fraudulent study, as it turns out.

I think this one had so much traction because people like to distrust doctors.

Thanks to drhoz for the link.

Well, western medicine should have figured out my dad was dying of cancer a little sooner than five days before he died, especially when he kept asking his GP for several months: "Why do I not have an appetite? Why do I have these bouts of fatigue? Why have my kidneys shut down?" and many other symptoms too personal to share here.

I don't LIKE to distrust doctors, but they do keep giving me reason to do so. These were only the latest and greatest.
