Wash Post? Too creepy

[Anonymous]

This is too creepy for this site. Why doesn't he just go to medical research labs?

Hi,

I'm a reporter at The Washington Post, and am working on a story about fainting episodes among teenage girls after receiving a vaccination. I am trying to find a few teens in the area who experienced that recently who wouldn't mind discussing their experiences with me for my story.

Thanks!

I didn't really find anything creepy about it. I've never heard of teenage girls fainting after vaccinations, but then I guess I don't really know any teenage girls either. If this is a real problem, a story about it would probably be worthwhile. However, I am often skeptical of rare occurrences being hyped, especially with a subject that generates so much controversy these days as vaccinations.
