Hey NCJ! Thanks for the cool calendar (Dec. 26)! Didn’t have one yet. No thanks for the be witch-hunty, pro-vax cartoon (Cartoons, Dec. 26). Most anti-vaxxers I know have long since known that this study was discredited. It’s the vaxxers that bring it up. Old news. Some questions remain, however, like, what exactly am I injecting into my infant? And why so many? And since we’re on the subject, what causes autism? One discredited study doesn’t prove that vaccines don’t cause autism. Not on one side or the other, but this seems like an open question that requires fair intelligent debate. Again, thank you for the calendar.

I love the cartoon. My mother wouldn’t let me have the polio vaccine until I was in first grade because she didn’t want to pay for it. The shot was free at school. Good shot. Bad mom.
