I don't know about the rest of you but found this article in the Trib a little disturbing. Apparently, Russell Ruderman feels that the alleged complications from vaccinations outweigh the benefits they bring. I understand his view albeit don't agree, after all, his business does tend to sell products that claim health benefits but have no evidence to back up those claims: wild water and homeopathic medicines being among them. And let's not forget the yogic flying "expert" and ballroom dancer he supported when he was opposing GMOs.

"In the post, which has since been deleted, Ruderman, who is a member of the Senate Commerce, Consumer Protection, and Health Committee, said he is not “anti-vax,” but is “pro-science. So I don’t reject inconvenient data. Pharma slogans and fear-mongering not welcome here. The multi-billion dollar PR campaigns already cover that stuff well,” according to screen shots of the post taken by a Tribune-Herald reporter.
In a response to a comment on the post about a measles outbreak in Japan, Ruderman wrote that measles “scares me less than complications from injections,” and that the disease is the “poster child for the current fear campaign.”"
