    So Michael Leunig compares vaccination to thalidomide. Anyone still want to defend this scumbag?

        @BernardKeane he's ok on most other stuff, not sure I support his views on increasing child mortality rates though. Bit of a dick move there

        @BernardKeane I do, read the full quote. He's not an anti vaxer, thalidomide is used as an example of science getting it wrong.
