Over at the
New York Times, Andrew Revkin writes about this tweet from pediatrician Dave Stukus, summing up an actual conversation between a patient and one of his colleagues.
Hopefully, one day people will realize that getting vaccinated for the flu is just as important as getting vaccinated for any other dangerous disease (indeed, the flu has killed far more people than Ebola).
Actual discussion:
Parent "I want #Ebola vaccine for my child"
Doc "There isn't one, but we have #flushot"
Parent "We don't believe in that"— Dr. Dave Stukus (@AllergyKidsDoc) November 4, 2014
