How dare they defend a vaccine with a solid medical history and an overwhelming number of positive studies, against a couple who aren't medically trained?

How dare they?

Honestly, these money grubbing companies, always trying to stop children from dying from preventable illness spin a buck.

Stop your whining and immunise your kids. FFS.

While I'm at it: fluoride in the water is fine, our tap water is fine. Grow up.

Maybe *your* tap water is fine. I live in Tokyo. I'm surprised that I can shower without my skin corroding.

I can't speak for yours, but people whine a lot about chlorination and taste/smell of perth water - the percentage of ground water in our tap water changes during the year.

Tap water in Australia is, frankly, safer than bottled - particularly bottled that is treated only with ozone.

My only gripe with our water is that it's too cheap. In a country where we routinely have to have water restrictions, it shouldn't be economically feasible to waste it.

I see everywhere signs for those water filters, omg dont want fluoride or sewerage in your water here buy this it only comes with an all exclusive pricetag that your grand kids will be paying off......

Not that we have recycled water yet, but in truth my mums partner already believes we do and nothing will change her mind >< Sure recycled water sounds gross but the people totally against it must remember our water reservoirs are teaming with life, and all life produces waste....... Not that they listen to logic.

Fact is that water recycled in australia is a lot better quality than that compared to overseas, our regulations on water recycling are a LOT tougher than that of the WHO. The pureest stuff is even drinkable, but that wont happen because of ignorant retards.

Ja, what many people don't understand is that our standards for drinking water are far more rigorous than our standards for food.

Food quality standards are what is applied to bottled water, which basically means the bottled water you buy is less safe than tap water.

I've tentatively changed my stance on this - in order to have an effect, a price hike would need to apply to industry and agriculture, which would be economically unsound. Actual household water restrictions (while good for the sake of public awareness) account for a tiny percentage of total water usage.
