Watch out for 'Vaccine Nazi'

E-Mail Print

In response to the letter about the discovery of "Ida" ("No family resemblance here," Nov. 3), remember the Soup Nazi on "Seinfield"? I think we need a Vaccine Nazi. "No H1N1 vaccine for you!" to all the creationists and intelligent designers who continue in their dog-fast belief that evolution is an invalidated theory. Please, stop misquoting Charles Darwin, who never postulated that "we evolved from apes." If you don't believe that species change over time through mutations, gene transcription and other means to adapt to changing environments, then mutating viruses should not exist as well. Why bother developing new flu vaccines every year? Stop accepting the vast benefits from science and denigrate it at the same time. "No H1N1 vaccine for you, but please have your children and pregnant wives inoculated just in case."
