“Their parents are making a deliberate choice to eschew one of the most effective medicines on Earth: the #measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine.
Why? Because of conspiracy-driven fears that the vaccine is harmful, that it can cause autism, or that it is the vaccine itself spreading the illness, not the virus it protects against. Every one of those myths has been debunked time and time again. The #MMR vaccine is, without a doubt, safe and effective.” https://med-mastodon.com/@picardonhealth/114101695186826150

Was the source of the autism BS. He misconstrued State of California data to show the effect. He and I have yelled at each other on the phone. He is a true POS.
@PChoate Yes. Unfortunately know him all too well. I’m old enough to remember when the original piece of garbage hit the media.
