I have decided that I may as well jump into the fray. Whilst reading today I came across two articles that both stirred some emotion in me, and lets just get this out of the way. I stand firmly in the pro-immunisation movement.
First article to come to my attention was reported by the associated press as follows

I particularly found myself thinking about the possible theories of why there is an increase in Whooping Cough in America. They appear to be valid reasons for the increase in the disease.
The second article I found whilst trawling through the Lancet and seems a valid reason for the increase as well.

So which one is right? Or are both right in some degree or another? Shall we dive into the immunisations cause Autism debate? Now I can't say that my skills in scientific research are of the highest level, and neither am I gullible enough to believe everything found on the internet as scientific fact. So what I am asking today is to put your case forward. Give me reasonable doubt to change to the anti-immunisation movement and I will stand proudly holding Jenny McCarthys hand.
