Fun fact: The doctor that made the "Vaccine causes Autism" claim has been disproven multiple times and even lost his doctorate for it

u/Jarppakarppa Jan 31 '25

And he was trying to get people to buy his own "better" vaccine that doesn't cause autism.

I'd highly recommend Hbomberguy's video on the subject if you haven't seen it already:

The rabbit hole goes quite a ways down.

A “better” vaccine he designed with another grifter who claimed his bone marrow cured autism. You read that right.

u/Cormorant_Bumperpuff Jan 31 '25

Well I guess we better extract all his bone marrow to save the human race then, right?

u/Donkletown Jan 31 '25

The esteemed Hugh Fudenberg is no longer with us, unfortunately. The cure for autism has been lost to time.

u/Cormorant_Bumperpuff Jan 31 '25

Too bad, looks like the 'tism is gonna take over the world now, mwahahaha!

u/Adorable_Sky_1523 Feb 01 '25

We will be unstopable now that Mr. Fudenberg is dead >:3

autistic people dont want to be cured, by the way, what you describe sounds closer to genocide, since to make someone not autistic is to essentially kill who they are

4

u/Cormorant_Bumperpuff Jan 31 '25

You misunderstand me, I'm autistic and trying to make a joke implying that he should've been drained (aka killed) to help the human race

meanwhile the supplement industry is booming

u/RandomFactUser Jan 31 '25

No, the other grifter wasn’t part of the vaccine, he was just used for the “evidence”

3

u/MiraculouslyMundane Feb 01 '25

He was named in the patent for the vaccine though

78

u/DrWarmBarrel Jan 31 '25

No he wasn't. It's so much dumber than that.

He was paid to make the study saying the MMR vaccine causes autism by a company that made a separate vaccine for Measles, Mumps and Rubella as individual vaccines. So you'd have to pay for 3 vaccines instead of one. His study has been repeated multiple times and never been replicated. It was an outright lie.

u/NFriedich Jan 31 '25

I thought he was actually hired by the lawyer of an Anti-Vaxx organziation, and then began working on the side to create his own company to sell the Measles, Mumps and Rubella vaccines separately to make a shit load of money

mercury into...morphine? did ....did you make a typo or like.......

is that just the dumbest shit ever?

also I can't find any sources on that (specifically the paralysis, but the morphine thing is wild too), do you have one?

u/PotatoFromFrige Jan 31 '25

And it was based on the “feelings” of 12 parents who they had to go out of their way to find

4

u/readthethings13579 Jan 31 '25

And the parents of the children who participated in the study have reviewed his data and found it to contain outright lies about their children.

There is genuine criticism with Big Pharma, but anyone who is propagating pseudoscience as part of their criticism is always engaging in the worst faith misdirect. It isn’t that Big Pharma is an industry of peer review morticians and snake oil peddlers who overprescribe, oversell, overpromise, overcharge for a little pill, lozenge, powder, spray or shot to cure life’s littlest of inconveniences while causing twice a many catastrophes, it’s that these bullshitters want in on the action too.

Him & RFK Jr who raked in what? a couple hundred million are perfect examples of that.

u/DrWarmBarrel Feb 01 '25

The thing that really pisses me off is that what Wakefield did is a legitimate Big Pharma Conspiracy. It's 100% what they are accusing all these companies of. It happened. It was proven, by gold standard science, to be bullshit.

But no this is what we're going with.

u/No_Macaroon_9752 Feb 07 '25

Big Pharma is too focused on profit, but there are supposed to be standards. What these guys want is to make big pharma money without any standards applied.

1

u/BrujaSloth Feb 07 '25

Absolutely no disagreement there. The only standards they want are the ones that favor them & them alone.

u/RandomFactUser Jan 31 '25

Wasn’t this also used to support a baseless lawsuit?

2

u/My_useless_alt Feb 01 '25

While also trying to win a lawsuit and sell testing kits for what was effectively autism vaccine syndrome. That's at least 3 different conflicts of interest

u/Cozman Feb 04 '25

His study was based on a sample size of 12 children and provided by a lawyer that was trying to sue a pharmaceutical company. And the outcomes were still fudged.
