Measles itself is unpleasant, but the complications are dangerous. Six to 20 percent of the people who get the disease will get an ear infection, diarrhea, or even pneumonia. One out of 1000 people with measles will develop inflammation of the brain, and about one out of 1000 will die.
He has a grandson with autism and has made the anti-vaccination a personal cause. That's not to excuse his ignorance, but rather to help provide understanding.
My son is autistic but that didn't make me turn into a complete science-denying moron (my ex-wife would say there were other reasons). Sorry but that is no excuse.
Data being poor is exactly why you and your wife are unable to get the HPV vaccine. CDC to the rescue:
If a 30-year-old female patient insists that she wants to be given HPV vaccine, can I give it to her?
HPV vaccine is not FDA-licensed for use in women older than age 26 years at this time [emphasis mine]. Studies are currently being conducted in women age 27 years and older. ACIP does not recommend the use of this vaccine outside the FDA licensing guidelines; however, many physicians administer this vaccine as off-label use. There is no reason to believe the vaccine would be any less safe for women in this age group than for younger women. Clinicians should decide if the benefit of the vaccine outweighs the hypothetical risk.
You should have gotten off your pro-science arse and done a quick Google search.
It's very puzzling why if 90+% of scientists in a given area of study agree on something, it is accepted as fact except for AGW. Why i$ that, I wonder?
The part where it's about a boring an irrelevant sport.
Some of us nerds aren't jealous of athletes because we also get off our asses and do stuff in the real world like play sports and exercise (something other than our typing fingers). Get over yourself.
Then some smart Democrats should throw their support behind this paper, tout their bipartisanship, and wait for some Republicans who, wisely, don't want to be further marginalized so they jump on the bipartisanship bandwagon. Kumbaya! It could happen...
For example, when the media was shocked by the 2008 crash, I wasn't. I had predicted it 5 years earlier (not necessarily when, but the fact that it would happen).
You didn't predict anything. You made a guess. It took five entire years for reality to coincide with your guess. That's all. When you can make accurate guesses consistently over time, then maybe we can talk about calling them "predictions".

How serious is the disease?

Poor Horatio.
Now that Manning's own lawyers are giving up on that argument, let's go to claims of mistreatment to get him off.
That one is a compelling argument.
He committed espionage while on active duty.
Even in the military, shouldn't they actually have to prove that first before punishing him?

Go away, denier-boy.
Because there are a large number of Americans who want to fry everything they eat.
Set your phaser to just below "heat a rock". Shouldn't take that long. Skin comes out really crispy, too.
The 1990s called to warn you that jocks might start playing video games someday. You'll have to leave your parents' basement to find them, though.

'We just have to put the right financial incentives into place.'
Cue the leak deniers...
Are you a climatologist? If not then please fuck off.
To be blunt, there's more money and power riding on proving AGW is an urgent problem than there is money against it from the fossil fuel side.
WTF? Care to elaborate or cite?
Do you mean this clip on NBC.com?
Romney was the last chance we as a nation had to regain the former glory that the founding fathers intended.
By restoring slavery?

Wrong. If Apple and Microsoft can reach a cross-licensing agreement that includes iPhones and iPads, then I guess you're FOS, eh?
Your graphic doesn't show the phones turned on, which makes quite a difference.
Then, by all means, post some. With "Lots of devices" to choose from, it should be easy.
It felt like I would have to become a square...
