Obama to parents doubting ‘indisputable’ science: ‘Get your kids vaccinated’

[div class="excerpt" style="margin-left:1em; border:1px solid #bfbfbf; border-radius:0.4615em; box-shadow:3px 3px 3px #999999;"]In the face of a growing measles outbreak, President Obama is urging parents to heed modern science and vaccinate their children.

“There is every reason to get vaccinated — there aren’t reasons to not,” Obama said in an interview with NBC News. Excerpts from the interview were aired Sunday night and Monday morning.

“I just want people to know the facts and science and the information,” the president said. “And the fact is that a major success of our civilization is our ability to prevent disease that in the past have devastated folks. And measles is preventable.”

Its nice to have a President whose opinions are formed by facts and science rather than fearmongering and FUD.
