Opposition to swine flu vaccine seems to be growing worldwide

I fear Dr Nerlich takes poetic license too far. His offering is
rather short on facts, long on speculation and full of his usual anti-
vaccination canards. For his information, the swine flu vaccine is
undergoing safety trials as we speak; As an Australian he should take
pride in knowing that these were started in his own backyard. In the UK
studies are currently taking place in Leicester, and these should tell us
more about the efficacy and safety profile of the vaccine and will inform
vaccination policy. Yes, it's a "new" vaccine, but people should realise
that flu vaccines are "new" every season. No, it will not be mandatory,
not even for health care workers who will be able to exercise their
choice. I am also afraid that by invoking Godwin's law of Nazi analogies
Dr Nerlich should realise that his argument consists of nothing but
logical fallacies. Is it any wonder that opposition to the vaccine seems
to be growing when there is so much uninformed anti-vaccine propaganda
circulating in the media?
