They can never specify which toxins are causing all that toxicity.

And I will continue to judge by product over process.

Transgenic modification and targeted modification is actually safer than mutagenesis and selective breeding, because you don’t get any unwanted genes. There are non-GM strains of potato, for example, that are toxic. In any case, it’s a process, not a product. Some GM crops are good, others aren’t - judge by the…

Actually, many biotech crops reduce pesticide and herbicide use, in addition to the ones that are drought resistant or are fortified to prevent things like vitamin A blindness. GM technology is one of the best tools we have to have high-yield farming that will resist climate change impacts.

But that is what they say. Jenny McCarthy comparing polio to autism, as if their comparable? She has called her son “soulless” and “buried alive.” One of the parents on Age of Autism has actually said he’d risk death than see his son with autism. Parent’s KILL their autistic kids; that was Wakefield’s last pet…

It reminds me the other day watching Food Network, it was Chopped I think. One of the chefs said she “only used things from the earth”. You mean some chefs use things from space in their dishes, no wonder their food tastes better than yours hipster.

They’ve already got a script written up for that: the vaccines that the mother and father got as children contribute to autism and/or cause autism in non-vaccinated children. Supposedly they get passed down through genetics in a magical woo way.

Amen. Nearly all of my grandmother’s immediate family died from forms of TB. Her brother was permanently crippled by tuberculosis of the bone. My great-uncle died, at age 18, of the long-term effects of rheumatic fever he suffered as a small child. My father’s entire family came down with influenza in 1918—it was a…

I also still don’t understand the conspiracy theory they are promulgating. Okay, so The Government and Big Pharma want to force you to give kids dangerous vaccines to make money... except vaccines aren’t really profitable. So is the big bucks in treating people with autism? But there’s no real pharmacological…

I feel like it’s just “What a shame we lost another one to the nutjob crowd...” but in this case it’s someone with credibility who can be dangerous and help sway the underinformed people who will buy the scientifically debunked claims.

She also had a lot of very strong opinions about people who put their children in daycare, girls-only trips, and assumes that all child-free people live sad lives and go home and cry every night. She also refused to go on the Pill to ease some of her period issues because her husband had a vasectomy and she didn’t…

OMG I worked with a woman who was like this. Claimed that she only fed her children organic food (or she’d say all-natural, whatever the hell THAT means, and used the terms interchangeably) because she shopped at Trader Joe’s. I told her that not everything from Trader Joe’s is organic but she wasn’t having any of…

I want to star this 100 times. My grandma (who passed away in 2012) was so disgusted and puzzled with anti-vaxxers. I guess if you've never SEEN smallpox you might be under the false impression that vaccines are luxuries. Gross.

I think its because he is supposed to be one of the “sane” ones. Like would people be surprised if Tom Cruise was an anti vaxer? probably not because as a member of scientology (even though there is nothing in the religion that says they cant) he is already considered to be a bit more "off" than his non scientologist…

I think it’s really helpful, anyone starts talking about Toxins or Chemicals I know I can just tune out because they have nothing important to say.

My grandmother died in 2003 at the age of 100. Since she lived a good portion of her life before major vaccines were introduced, I wonder what her reaction would be if I could tell her that people are actively against getting their children immunized.

Never forget, a dead kid is better than one with autism

Not just their children, but anyone who is immunodeficient or unlucky enough to be from a place without standardized vaccination programs.

As a mom of a child with autism I find it mind-boggling that parents of non neurotypical kids jump on the anti-vax wagon. Because the message of the whole movement is: “It’s better to risk the life of your child than to wind up with one with autism”. It’s so unbelievably disloyal to your children. My son is perfect…

Condemning their children, along with anyone else who is allergic to vaccines or has a condition that suppresses their immune system so they can’t receive them and are especially susceptible to disease.
