They'll always have a bright future in the RC car and plane industry, I'm sure... Or with the military, making drones. Don't worry too much about them.

The whole damn thing might just be acting like a big Faraday cage, sending the energy straight on down and around the structure.

I don't see how a computerized rover can experience "absolute terror".

Then fuck that!

It's Gizmodo. You expect them to do research? (Watch this comment be expelled and me get banned.) They also told us HIV had been cured and that employees at Foxconn are dying at a phenomenal rate.

Will it be for a national audience through a well-respected network like NPR?

Details, man... Details.

No, but it is "Wong".

Sadly, I've had to do this with a couple of articles (well, more than a couple) at some of your sister blogs. One claimed that HIV had been cured, the other claimed that a certain computer parts manufacturer's employee suicide rate was higher than the general population of the country in question. Well, it wasn't. Any…

I was trying to be funny... I pictured you as a three year-old on a big horse, with those funny hats and hitting balls with that funny stick.

It's par for the course for antivaxers to quickly squeal that "it's the money!" Then you do the analysis and see that there is no money in preventing diseases. There is plenty of money in treating them. So I propose to you that it is, in fact, antivaxers who are in league with Big Pharma and Big Healthcare.

Oh, I could tell you some stories...

Regarding the cartoon: Pot, meet kettle. Isn't this exactly what you're doing? Not letting my commenting just go?

It's hard to translate rabid into legible English, isn't it? (By the way, my other job is as an infectious disease epidemiologist. The writing gig is on the side and on the weekends.)

I don't think they're "batshit", just utterly and irrevocably misinformed. Every and all misinformation, no matter the source, needs to be countered. Something about evil winning if the rest of us just don't approve the pinks.

I get paid $.30 per word and work at home. Just have to write blog posts and research articles. Don't know how that compares to copywriting, but I'm the envy of science writers who went to writing school. Then again, I don't do it for the money. I do it for the fun of seeing antivaxers squirm at the sight of science.

Ah, yes, the "too many vaccines" gambit. I'm sure your "research" revealed to you that kids today get way less antigens in their vaccines than you did, or that people did in the 70's. Plus, people back then would have killed to have the number of vaccines we have today. It's called progress and advancements in medical…

I invite you to check out the History of Vaccines website, which explains in a lot of detail why and how we went from separate vaccines to one. It's science.

Polo? The game you play with horses and sticks and a little ball?

You do know that plenty of reputable pro-vaccine organizations need copy writers? I invite you to come back to the not-dark side.
