From Parade Magazine,  What to Fear in 2015:

An excerpt:

Here are a few of the things you should and should not fear in 2015:

• Flu not Ebola
• Domestic violence not serial killers, pedophiles
• Heart disease not Mercury in fish
• Not getting enough dietary fiber not gluten
• The re-appearance of measles, whooping cough, and other preventable diseases not vaccine side effects
• Texting while driving not air travel
• Malware on your cell phone not bulk password theft
• Gun violence among young people not school shootings/mass murders
• Sitting too much not heart attacks during exercise

Unfortunately, it takes a measles epidemic to provide a passionate argument for immunizations. Related blog post: 1400 Different Immunization Schedules -What Could Go Wrong …
