An interesting thing on their site also pointed out the number of cases in the US quadrupled in 2011. I would guess that is likely due to the anti-vaccination movement.

is this the same type of numbers of who "dies yearly from the flu", and who actually dies from the flu?
the 'anti-vaccine movement' has always been about asking questions.. which i believe is a point that has been missed here. is the OP, in his infinite wisdom, suggesting that we stop asking questions?
is he asking for the limitation and removal of the internet to save lives?
