Measles, Vaccines, and Japan

The article I mentioned in class: Measles Scare Hits 3 U.S. Airports

While I was reading the article, the Measles scare video was playing, and when it was done it automatically jumped to the next video: Fraudulent Vaccine Research Exposed, the topic from Willrich's article.  It shows interviews with Dr. Wakefield, other doctors/researchers, and families impacted by the fake research, including one mother who is convinced vaccines gave her child autism.

On another note, I really admire Japan's engineers and their advanced technology.  But even though Japan’s Strict Building Codes Saved Lives, there was still a vast amount of damage done: Satellite Photos of Japan, Before and After the Quake and Tsunami and Hundreds flee in Japan after Shinmoedake volcano begins spewing ash, boulders
