Yesterday, I wrote about an antivaccine "march on Washington." As is often the case with antivaccine rhetoric, if you listened to the people organizing the conference and planning to speak there, you'd think that they were fighting an apocalyptic b

It's much better with music.
You know, that would look even better if I were hopped up on Sudafed.
