H1N1 is a government plot? Are you kidding me?

On Nov. 1, you published an opinion letter in your newspaper that claimed the H1N1 flu is a government plot and that the vaccine is dangerous and untested.

Printing these kinds of delusional paranoid ravings does profound harm to our society. People believe this idiocy and end up not getting vaccinated and that means people will die.

This new H1H1 paranoia is a combination of the rise of anti-vaccination stupidity combined with the anti-Obama rhetoric.

Because of this rising paranoia people are not vaccinating their kids. And that is leading to outbreaks of measles and other diseases both here and around the world.

The government is not out to kill you with toxin vaccines. The government is not mixing up new diseases in secret labs.

The overwhelming evidence is that vaccines do not cause autism, they do not destroy your immune system, they do not cause the disease they’re actually protecting you against and they certainly are not a secret government plot to kill of it’s citizens.

The Auburn Journal should be promoting a rational and evidence-based discussion of this topic, not paranoid, crazy, misinformed, anti-scientific rants.
