When Larry Page announced on Google+ that he had donated money for flu shots for children in San Francisco,[1] he was decried by many people who commented below his post, for example, "The flu shot is bad for you. It is poison. +Larry Page kids don't need that." "That's right give them a flu shot to get rid of what the government poisons us" "Awesomely bad. I think I'd research what's in those year old vaccines before injecting them." "Injecting viruses - to attack the immune system - and hope that it activates antibodies which attack these and (hopefully) future viruses, ... makes no sense to me. Do not harm your kids please." and so on. (Some really stupid comments that I remember from that time seem to have been deleted later, judging by the gaps in the comment thread.) If Page is getting this kind of grief from donating to charitable causes, maybe he really would rather give money to for-profit businesses.
