I'm shocked by all the people who are suddenly realizing this now. It was common knowledge for almost 20 years. His autism-vaccine connection claim, pulled from disgraced researcher Andrew Wakefield, had already been debunked as soon as he trotted it out.

(13,540 posts)He did segments on the horrors of thimerosal in vaccines. It was enough to make you ask your doctor if the flu shot you were getting had thimerosal in it.

(14,732 posts)I saw him in action in 1968, shortly after RFK's death. He was entitled, arrogant and someone nobody wanted to be around. He hasn't improved with age.
