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

You’re leaving out the “best” part.

A rundown on this asshole (Andrew Wakefield)

He was PAID to find a non existent link between autism and vaccines

He FORGED documents where he marked kids who were not in the spectrum as autistic

He TORTURED through endless invasive exams (mostly colonoscopies) autistic kids because he was desperately trying to get the results he wanted

To this day, he still claims he’s innocent (despite the receipts proving he’s fucking scum) and he’s out, selling books, spreading his bullshit.

This piece of shit is the main (arguably first inception) cause of all the discussion surrounding links between vaccines and autism and nobody talks about it

The fact he’s not in jail for life should enrage every person that lays their eyes on this story because it’s thanks to him that we have an endless list of mouth breathers still repeating the same bullshit he spread for monetary gain

The best part is the thing he was initially trying to push was instead of giving specificially the mmr vaccine he wanted to split it into 3 shots for each disease because that method would make him/his company more money. yet now people who bought it just think every vaccine causes autism. So even though he faked it people bought a bigger lie than he was even trying to tell and since then he now backs the broad anti-vax movement despite his initial goal of replacing 1 vaccine method with another.

Yeah I omitted that for brevity but let’s add that to the pile, absolutely. He’s absolute scum and I believe that if his reputation wasn’t so tarnished, he’d be called to the White House to give a speech

With this White House, he’ll probably be welcomed like a hero.
