Why are you smiling?

This has been doing the rounds:

Note the ND after the first one. (I missed it at first.) The N is for naturopathic. NOT A REAL DOCTOR.

By the way there’s a measles outbreak here in Washington state, mostly via unvaccinated kids.

    Natropaths can not claim to be doctors here, unless they also have a qualification as medical doctors. Even then, the Medical Council takes a dim view of members spouting babble while using their medical registration as justification.

    I didn’t realize they could here, and I’m pretty horrified.

    In this age we live, anyone can claim to be a doctor. Never forget, the Orange One knows nuclear.

    Paul Offit….. Paul Offit….

    I know I’ve come across him before but I can’t remember where or why.

    It was definitely a good thing.

    latsot, you should read Offit’s books on vaccination. He has been a major force in fighting against Wakefield.

    I’ve since realised that’s what it was.
