Turn to experts

I am surprised and disappointed that The Spokesman-Review would give front-page space to Spokane City Councilman Mike Fagan’s uninformed opinions on vaccinations. It only serves to perpetuate the many untruths masquerading as science.

Fagan is entitled to his opinion, but not entitled to his own science. I suggest that the public look to more-informed sources, such as the Centers for Disease Control or their personal health care providers for their health information.
