4. Absolutely.

This applies to the anti-GMO hysterics also.

6. Doc Oz had an expert on his show linking GMOs to autism.

I'm not buying what they're selling.

7. "Dr" Oz has proven he's a quack.

Who was this "expert," anyway?
Jenny McCarthy?

9. Some idiot from Moms Across America:

Sorry Dr. Oz and Jenny McCarthy: More scientific proof vaccines, GMOs don’t cause autism

Autism is a term that strikes fear in the hearts of parents and fuels contentious arguments among friends, families, and internet strangers.

Though the 1998 Andrew Wakefield study linking the MMR vaccine to autism has been thoroughly debunked, parents continue to fear childhood vaccines to this day. This is partially due to celebrity quacks like Jenny McCarthy, Rob Schneider, Mayim Bialik, and sadly even Dr. Oz perpetuating the myth that vaccines are harmful.

Not only has Dr. Oz recently added his fuel to the anti-vaccine fire, but he’s planted the seed of GMO-autism misinformation into the collective American consciousness. He recently featured Zen Honeycutt of anti-GMO group Moms Across America, giving her a national platform to make fabricated claims that eliminating GMOs “cured” her son’s autism.

Despite the loud voices of disinformation, the scientific community has overwhelmingly agreed that there is no causal link between vaccines or GMOs and autism. Scientists previously learned that a combination of numerous, very common heritable variants contribute significantly to autism risk. These variants don’t individually increase an individual’s autism risk; the causal factor is inheriting specific permutations of these variants.

He really gets around.

Can't believe people are defending him on DU.

13. You forgot Robert F Kennedy, Jr.

“They get the shot, that night they have a fever of a hundred and three, they go to sleep, and three months later their brain is gone. This is a holocaust, what this is doing to our country.”

14. Don't even get me started on that guy.

Coming from royalty he could have championed so many worthy causes.

And the Holocaust reference was incredibly offensive.

3. Please understand that we are not only Democrats

but not all of us are the parents of little children. We adults want to decide what medical treatment we want put into our OWN ADULT bodies.

5. Take your horseshit and put it in the same categories as creationism and Climate Change denial.

[Cal Carpenter]

8. Because your 'personal choice' or some such romanticized sentiment

is more important to you than the public good.

We get it. You are perfectly willing to put others at risk for some belief that you have, despite the facts that are known. You try to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt about something that is actually quite well-studied, and has been for decades, so that you can justify what is ultimately a dangerous, libertarian mentality.

16. Wait, haven't you posted a million times about how oppressed you are

by being asked to smoke outside?

Why can't other adults be free of your cancerous fumes and contagious diseases?

Why do you choose to inhale known poisons near constantly but reject an and very safe infrequent injection for the sake of public health?

How is this anything but ignorance and selfishness on your part???

17. Doesn't the DisneyLand measles outbreak . . .

illustrate to you what can happen when unvacinated people interact with the public?

Pls consider wearing an "unvacinated" warning on your person when you go out to warn the public that there is a possibility of getting infected.

10. Australian Vaccination Skeptics Network compares

losing the religious exemption for anti-vaxxers to rape:

11. Shameless.

They're just like pro-life groups.

12. That link is well worth the minute it took me to read.

You should post it as your own post, so more folks will see it.

I want to recommend your post!

15. Thanks, Peggy, I will.
