The Elitists are Elite. Only a few of them, if you even suggest anything that is not inline with there views about HN You get ALL of them crashing down on you. It might be a small number but it seems those people are the quickest.

It would be nice if you had to make a little comment about why you downvoted?

View on HN

It was about the dangers of vaccines. BTW Japan has stopped some vaccines because some children died. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/07/us-japan-vaccine-i... The article says their not sure it was the vaccine. But 3 of the 4 died the next day.

I haven't read the comment that was downvoted, but my understanding was that it was the brand of vaccine that was stopped, and not the vaccine itself. Anti-vaccine talk is not nearly as common in Japan as in North America.
