Are you planning to write in support of science?

In the spirit of "take back the night", I see this as a sort of "take back the science" campaign directed at vaccination. (Of course, most take back the night campaigns now take place in the early evening around dinner. But no matter!) If you write a blog post about vaccination next week, I'll put up a link, or if you submit one to me directly at littletinyfeardemon, I'll put it up here!


Here's the call for posts up at Science-Based Medicine:

What I’d love to see from November 1-6 are a tsunami (word choice intentional) of posts that:

  • Include science-based discussions of the safety and efficacy of vaccines
  • Include science-based refutations of anti-vaccine misinformation
  • Specifically refute posts by Joe Mercola and Barbara Loe Fisher during that week. (You can throw in Age of Autism, too, if you like.)
Start thinking about this. I would love to see the misguided efforts of the antivaxxers blow back in their faces.

There's going to be at least one accumulator but I'm starting a list anyway

Also don't forget the hashtag #vaxfax if you use twitter.
