Interesting Vaccine Article
As an elementary school teacher, issues like public health and vaccinations have a strong personal connection to me. I spend five days a week in a building with about 1,300 children giving any disease a chance to spread like wildfire. As a scientific thinker I come down squarely on the side of “pro vaccine” and find the current crop of anti vaccine advocates a dangerous group. I have been following the “debates” about the H1N1 vaccine and recently read a very interesting article.
The website on which the article is published is a bodybuilding website. It has the things one would stereotypically expect (muscle men and women in bikinis), but I urge you not to turn it off right away. The most successful and educated people in the world of strength and conditioning and nutrition write articles for the site. The editor in chief, who wrote the vaccination article, has a degree in biochemistry and specializes in the roles hormones play in the body.
Here is the link to the article. Read it and make of it what you will.
