Wired’s Amy Wallace has an excellent piece on the rise of the idiotic and perilous anti-vaccine “movement:” An Epidemic of Fear: How Panicked Parents Skipping Shots Endangers Us All.

Wired also identifies some of the most prominent idiots promoting this bad craziness (but somehow they missed Bill Maher): The Misinformants: Prominent Voices in the Anti-Vaccine Crusade.

Another article by Erin Biba debunks three of the major fears about the H1N1 flu shot.
