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

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

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.

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
