*clicky*
couldn't actually be possible for me to agree any more than i do with this.

frankly, anyone who wants to use homeopathy and the like can fuck off back to the dark ages and die of a preventable disease, leaving me to enjoy the fruits of modern medicine.

And the same goes to people who refuse to vaccinate their children. piss off to a leper colony, you bunch of selfish, hemp chewing cunts.

And relax.

Hey, I wonder if that'd work
Have the NHS- and the private "proper" medical establishment, and have the homeopathic bunch. But have them work entirely separately- and you can only sign up to ONE.
No NHS or private healthcare for you if you go homeopathic, no homeopathic if you choose NHS/private.

Of course, homeopathic remedies are permitted as soon as they can pass very basic tests of better-than-placebo positive effects and no / limited / pleasent side effects.

Alternative name
There's a name for alternative interventions that have passed these tests. They're called "medicine".

Yes!
People who get all "but I'm just not sure" about vaccinations. I bet virtually all of them were given vaccinations when they were young which is why so few of them died of fucking measles!

The MMR thing does cause me to rage
Every single scientific peer-reviewed investigation comes out with the following:

Vaccines have risks
Not being vaccinated carried greater risks

Now stop being a bunch of cunts before there's enough unvaccinated kids to have a measles epidemic.
