If you want to be really pissed, read up on ~~doctor~~ disgraced former doctor, lifelong charlatan and grifter Andrew Wakefield. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wakefield

He abused autistic kids in a medical experiment that was meant to convince both the public and the scientific community that a specific combined vaccine (measles-mumps-rubella, a.k.a MMR) could trigger some kind of bowel disease that causes autism, all so he could peddle his own alternative that is three separate shots.

And here's the kicker: he did that because he was financially invested in the company producing the older, separate vaccines.

I recommend the HBomberGuy documentary on that (“vaccines: a measured response”).

Wakefield now babbles on stage on antivax cruises and doesn't seem happy.

What a stupid-ass life: made vaccine skepticism a big thing and didn't even get rich from it.

[–] Deebster@infosec.pub 1 points 1 month ago

Covid vaccination rates were higher in the UK than the rest of Europe and exposure to this fraud is credited as why. Brits had built up some immunity to vaccine FUD and had the lowest rate of vaccine hesitancy.

I take some glee in the fact that he's not antivax, (just wanted people to use his) but now has to be a speaker at antivax conferences as they're the only group who can stand him.

To be fair, food is a significant contributor to the existence of adults. And we all know those are problems.

You know what every living autistic kid have in common? They all eat!

I would even be bold enough to say that Autistic adults eat.

They failed to mention "Big Fooda" who infiltrate all media, control government and train doctors and scientists into convincing us to routinely put food in out mouths!

Sounds like the type of person who won't give their kids ~~hydrogen~~ dihydrogen monoxide either because it can cause even metals to oxidate

Dihydrogen monoxide

One of these things is bleach.

Thanks! I hope I haven't killed someone (or cured them of something), before I corrected it!

Bleach is Sodium Hypochloride. NaClO not HO

I hate https://m.youtube.com/@Campbellteaching He's just so loud and obnoxious with his analysis of "scientific peer-reviewed papers". He is wrong about everything. Someone should throw him off yt
