1. Dr. Mengele

   I agree - he could be another Joseph Mengele. Not worth the risk to his (possibly) Jewish patients, or for that matter, his patients who are members of trade unions. Someone this opinionated will not make a good doctor, in my opinion. There may be others practicing the profession just as opinionated as he. There may be thousands of anti-semitic doctors in the world - but have they also murdered people for political beliefs? I hope not - and I hope I do not become their patient.

2. Hate crime

   I feel that this person was convicted of a hate crime. He killed a person whose politics he disagreed with! A person who could to that should not be permitted to be practice medicine, a profession where a person has a very unique ability to alter the course of another person's life for better or worse. The fact that this person also falsified information, while I can't blame him for wanting to change his name after committing murder and doing time, shows he is no ready to be truthful, another important requirement for the medical profession.

3. Difficult decision

   I am among those who believe that there is no evidence of a link between vaccination and autism. Until there is a proven link, you could just as easily say that learning to walk causes autism. Autism is on the rise but vaccination does not appear to be the culprit. I believe that the culprit will be found sooner or later, but it is not vaccination. That said there is still a risk associated with vaccination: risk of short-term bad reaction (resolving), risk of long term bad reaction (causing harm) and risk of death. These risks must be weighed by every parent when those little syringes appear, doctors' reassurance aside. Every one of us who has done the right thing (vaccination) has had to hold our breath while our beautiful offspring screams from the surprise of the shot - while we weigh the various consequences in our heads. HOWEVER, the consequences of not vaccinating our children are black and white: children died of diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough. Children died and were maimed by polio. These diseases are not curable by antibiotics, and were our population not vaccinated the death rate from these diseases would rise dramatically. A Waldorf school in my neighborhood recently had to be closed due to whooping cough outbreak. This is the unplanned but predictable result of following the anti-vaccination dogma of Rudolf Steiner, founder of the Waldorf schools. Most of the affected children were in kindergarten. I am glad my child has been vaccinated.
