So, my an online american friend said"My mom didn’t want to vaccine vax cuzs autism". Is he joking? I know many people say thing like that but i thought they all were joking?
In my country which is a third world country no one believe shit like that even my Grand mother who is illiterate and religious don’t believe thing like that and knows the benefit of vaccine.
Wakefield wasn’t antivax? He’s made two anti-vax movies now, the most recent anti-mumphs vaccine one ‘Prorocol-7’ in 2024. He’s now lived in Texas for over a decade and is paid by various antivax groups as a speaker and advisor, reportedly as his primary income. He’s been involved in multiple attempts to kerb mandatory vaccinations for school enrollment.
His message didn’t get garbled - he’s the one right there telling it!
More like he pivoted to the money when his scientific work was dismantled.
At the time he was selling a vaccination. He was willing to throw (autistic) children under the bus to make more money off of it. The fact he was then willing to jump on the anti Vax train doesn’t surprise me.
