He's apparently been getting into film-making recently.

Dr. Wakefield supposedly lost his license to practice Medicine in Texas.


Not surprising, seeing as he'd already lost it in Britain.

Me too.

It's awful. :?

I had no idea there were so many of them. And it's the first time I've ever seen anti-vaxxers dogpiling people. I didn't think that would be possible unless you were on some anti-vaxxer forum or something or at least something explicitly about vaccination that would attract them, but no.

Something has to be done about them. I don't want to force them into vaccinating, but if their numbers keep growing like this it will be a danger to us all. There has to be a way to get through to them.

If anti-vaxxers could be reasoned with, there would be no anti-vaxxers.

Time to round them up and cure them.

I'll bring the saltpetre.
