Why are people debating measles vaccines again? The covid vaccine debate was stupid but I could kinda understand the concern there in comparison to this
Listen, a playboy bunny listened to her mommy instincts and came to the conclusion that vaccines caused autism.
If that's not proof enough that vaccines are bad then I don't know what is.
The MMR (measels, mumps, rubella) vaccine is the one Wakefield was against. The OG of the vaccines cause autism movement.
Wasn't that debunked though?
Thoroughly, yes, and the guy (Andrew Wakefield)was stripped of his medical license for malpractice because of it.
He did it so he could make money off selling those vaccines separately. It was always a fucking grift.
Elaborate? This sounds interesting

Just watch this if you want to. It is entertaining.
RFK JR has OF COURse saying it isnt neccesary to vax against measles, he did only partially backtrack that by only adminstering 2000doses lol. remember RFK JR is the one that resulted in 86 children deaths in samoa.
What happened in Samoa? I assume RFK is that american health secretary that looks like he's a demon in a human suit?
He went to Samoa and started demonizing the MMR vaccine to the point where a bunch of the island stopped vaccinating their kids.
Then they had a measles outbreak. 86 kids died from it. RFK Jr refuses to this day to admit any fault.
Well, at least they don't have autism! /s
Anti-Science sentiment. Scientists are their enemy, so anything science is bad.
'cept if they need it in particular
It all goes back to the BS "vaccines cause autism" thing.
The antivax movement goes back farther than Wakefield and the "causes autism" thing. That's just when it became really popular.
Thanks to safety provided by vaccines, we are here to cancel said vaccines and empower people to kill their children by neglect and die on their own.
Consequences for letting people have their opinions when facts are right there.
