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.

This looks like a good spot for a livestock show. -- The Mothers of Invention were opening for Cream in April of 1968 in Chicago. The place was very large and did look like it had been used for displays of cattle and other such animals.
