Vaccine myths

There is a cut-and-paste list of vaccine "facts" that has been doing the rounds for years. It tends to appear on any internet argument about vaccine safety, comments on news stories, even pages by actual doctors (eg http://getwellstaywellathome.com/blog/2012/07/vaccine-damage-alert). Not, generally, medical doctors.

When I first encountered this list I knew very little about vaccine safety, so I spent a few hours researching. What a shocker, most of the "facts" turned out to be either untrue, badly reported or distorted.
