Bill Maher & Vaccine Phobia

When George Will writes one of his ridiculous columns on global warming, greens and liberal science bloggers practically fall over themselves in condemnation.

But when a popular comedian advises against getting the swine flu vaccine–or any vaccine, for that matter–the silence is deafening. Holy junk science, where is the outrage against Bill Maher? This is serious stuff–lots of supposedly smart people are already irrationally fearful of vaccines.

Mooney, Zimmer, you have built-in audiences and prominent platforms, where are you? This quackery by Maher is dangerous, especially now as we head into peak swine flu season.
