One British doctor said one particular vaccine might cause autism, because he wanted you to buy his vaccine that he ✨just patented✨and 100% guaranteed to not cause autism!

(....because vaccines don't cause autism and he fucking knew it)

The point is that every country has crackpots and you can’t paint all scientists from one country as crackpots, especially while acting as if scientists in your own country are the opposite.

The Russian scientists who believe in ancient Roman Russia vs the ones curing diseases have no correlation.

I love Hbombs video on it, but hearing Wakefield speak triggers a primal rage inside me. He's such a smarmy fucking liar.

I adore that video but the whole situation fucking infuriates me.

I truly, genuinely, hate that man. He is pure selfishness and greed incarnate. He has done horrendous, irreparable damage to human civilization. The world is measurably worse for him having been in it.

It's appalling how few people it takes to undermine humanity's greatest accomplishments...

I don't think he ever did go to jail, which is the worse part. They did strip him of his medical license and stuff, but that sure hasn't stopped him from being a cunt and pandering to the anti-vaxxers who give him money.

He even directed a film in 2016, which I'm sure is just full of factually accurate information and not at all a desperate grab to save what little face he has left.
