“You’ll never believe it, Mr Kennedy. According to our data, vaccines causes cancer”, he says, smiling. “Once we increased our vaccination rates, cancer became a major cause of death within 15 years. I suspect that far fewer people will die of cancer, if we simply roll our policies back

There's no such thing as a "vaccine skeptic".
Skeptic implies that they could have their opinion swayed if presented with evidence. The fact that they're still "skeptical" despite literal mountains of evidence shows that they only call themselves "skeptics" because it makes them sound reasonable, when in reality if they could have been swayed by reason they would have changed their minds a long time ago.

They really should review dihydrogen monoxide which is continually pushed by doctors but has a 100% mortality rate! DO YOUR RESEARCH!

If the word "skeptic" in the title actually meant that, this would be a good thing. It's good to be skeptic about everything until you're shown evidence. The problem here is that those folks aren't really skeptic.

WaPo strikes again with a plausibly deniable disinformation title, using the word "skeptic" wrong on purpose. I expect nothing less from Bezos.

Autism isn't a fucking defect

These people have co-opted the work "skeptic".

I grew up Orthodox and became skeptical of god's role in my life, now I'm agnostic.

My parents became "skeptical" of vaccines. Once they found their first antivax substack they are no longer "skeptical" but rather certain vaccines cause autism and covid vax causes heart attacks.

I find it hilarious (sad) they stop being skeptical once they find "proof" of their suspicions and then claim to be skeptics.

They of course have seen all the research supporting vaccines and deemed it insubmissable because it was funded by big pharma or the WHO (CHINA).

The only science they believe is the shit pushed by their "independent" researchers (crunchy influencers).

🤮

I feel like using terms like "vaccine skeptic" for these morons is a major PR win for them. It makes it sound way more legitimate than it is. Fuck corporate media sanewashing everything going on politically right now.

I'd just like to caveat that a slim majority of American voters outdid themselves to undo decades of past hard-won progress.

I feel like I should start wearing a mask again in stores and other crowds, because this administration is going to kill me if I wait for the experts.

ps There are no experts anymore just these anti vaccine loony fuckshits.

All because of one debunked research paper fuck long ago. Damn did that do so much damage

Wouldn't that involve them causing autism to prove it does?

"I'm autistic because I was a test subject for a government op..."

bruh...

With data manipulation you can prove that vaccines cause pigs to fly

There was never a link to begin with. Never.

*denialist

"LET'S FIGURE OUT AND CURE AUTISM" they say as if a considerable amount of humanity's greatest inventions/discoveries aren't accredited to people across the spectrum.

Mark Geier

Is that the patient 0 of that autism claim? The one that was discredited decades ago (both the person and the claim)?

The biggest problem with him was, he just couldn't admit he had been wrong and continued to spout the bullshit, thus discovering a moderately profitable grift. And now his son is continuing it.

Someone please create a AI video of a debate with Trump about vaccines, where he gets dunked.

If they don't play fair, we don't have to either.

Headline later...

90% of people with autism were vaccinated! Vaccines cause autism!

Actual data later

90% of the population is vaccinated. The rate of autism in the 90% and remaining unvaccinated 10% is exactly the same.

pro-worm but agaisnt vaccines.

Being skeptic is not bad. Not seek nor relay on scientific evidences is the problem...

I never thought I'd have a gov that had a health dept that was determined to make me sick. I expect things to be occasionally suppressed, bias, and flawed studies but not a deliberate effort. It is like they put the Phillip Morris tobacco company in charge.
