Only the thing is they don’t just ‘share his views’ on vaccines, they literally created the entire anti vax ‘industry’ that he’s now bought into.
A former colleague of mine had an autistic son who was at the extreme end of the spectrum, and at the time he, like you, completely bought the conspiracy theory, as it was put forward as being a legitimate medical paper (which it never was obvs) and he spent years not only convinced that his son had become autistic because of MMR but worse still that it could somehow be ‘undone’ which was the snakeoil that Wakefield and others then went on to try and punt. It tortured him for years, as he felt his son deserved ‘justice’ and that he could somehow be helped. ****ing cruel ****.
I think this is the worst part of it. There are so many people out there just like them. If you have kids, you can only imagine the anguish they would've been duped into going through. That feeling that it was something done to their child, how the fck do you overcome that especially when it's not true.
Did you see that part in the documentary where parents were collecting bits of their kids' own bowels, which were coming out of them after giving them that bleach concoction. That was horrific. Fcking hell, imagine getting people to do that to their own kids and then collecting it in jars to show the bleach was working! Fcking hell mate, ffs!
