Anti-vaccine conspiracy sites #1: National Vaccine Information Center

[HuckleB]

This is Barbara Loe Fisher's scam page, and it has fooled many a person with its high falutin' name, which sounds so reasonable. Ah, but reasonable it is not. And yet it is sometime used by posters at DU to support anti-vaccine viewpoints.

Here are couple of good links about the NVIC and Barbara Loe Fisher:

Bottom line:

Friends don't let friends post NVIC nonsense.
