… then all they're going to do is ~~embarrass themselves.~~ get published in the lancet.

FTFY.

The original study that said there might be a connection, was originally published in the lancet. It was later retracted, after years, but the damage was done.

which… the study looked at like a dozen autistic kids and found they had all gotten vaccines.

They all, also probably had all worn clothes. You don’t see people saying “clothes cause autism!”, though. Or you know, breathed air. Drank water. Played outside in the sunshine. I’m sure there’s more.

There's one near me. Since they built it, it's done me no harm, but I do have an odd craving for pangolin meat.

jenny mccarthy is one of the people that jumpstarted the movement among white middle aged moms, and then it branched off from there. i noticed they branched off into the cult of believing "chronic lyme" exists too.
