RE: Epidemic of Fear

摘要

Well, that struck a nerve. We got more mail about our cover story, "An Epidemic of Fear," than any other piece we've published. Dozens of medical professionals commended Amy Wallace's feature on the fallacies promulgated by the anti-vaccine movement. Meanwhile the anti-vaxers flooded our mailboxes with stories of children injured by vaccinations, chain letters, misogynistic rants, threats, and just plain crazytown ("Sodomite editors should go get AIDS at the Folsom Street Fair," advised one less-evolved creature). Sticks and stones: We're still vaccinating our kids, and we hope you will, too.
