On the other hand I wonder if this guy has a Patreon account. If he does I doubt it'll last much longer.

What I don't get is that even if it was true (which it obviously isn't...) anti vax is because the kid might get autism.
I'd rather my kid was autistic than had measles and died. Even low functioning autism (mum worked with some kids like that and it can be a hard life for them and their parents but it's a life and it does have pleasure in it). If it gave the kid Asperger's, based on my knowledge of aspies and NTs, I'd get the kid vaccinated just for the sake of the Asperger's...
(Assuming the kid didn't have autistic sensory needs at least, but I'd rather have a kid with that personality type)
This gives me an excuse not to watch Shrek which is good cos I already have lots of films to watch but he's an ignorant sort for saying it/being it.
