    It’s actually been almost 20 years since Jenny fucking McCarthy went on Oprah and was given a national platform to spout her antivax claims. That was the huge turning point in the movement.

      But what is important is that Jenny and Oprah got rich(er), Andrew Wakefield is dating Elle MacPherson and attending the Presidential Inaurguration.

      The huge turning point was when a shit MD-based journal, The Lancet, published a truly low rate manuscript, and even after it was proven fraudulent and Wakefield was stripped of his medical licence, they did not retract the article for 12 years. This is the pinnacle of MD led research.

      Where are the lawyers who need to sue:

      1. Wakefield

      2. Winfrey

      3. The Lancet

      4. Robert De Fucking Niro.

          DeNiro majes no sense. He criticized Trump on how he handled yhe pandemic…but he won’t take a vaccine. Why does anyone listen to an actor, they just act smart.

            Just because they are an actor/celebrity doesn’t mean we shouldn’t listen to them. You just have to remember they are a person too, and there are LOTS of fucking stupid people.
