Trump is, but this article is pushing a narrative that is much broader. They're promoting their beliefs by hiding behind one persons fears about one symptom.
Hell, the vaccine court wikipedia article does the same thing. They go down the list of vaccines that have horrible, debilitating side effects, but always end with *buy hey, it doesn't cause autism!" as if that's any consolation as your child is slowly loses their ability to speak, move, or hold their bowls.
The link between autism and vaccines may be unproven, but there are far worse conditions that already are.
They're promoting their beliefs by hiding behind one persons fears about one symptom.
I don't think the article is doing that. I think they're reporting that the President of the USA holds beliefs which are dangerous to public health.
These disingenuous idiots always confuse the issue by making it about autism or politics.
Putting aside politics, people always seem to miss what should be an obvious fact. Not all vaccines are created equal. Furthermore, if vaccines were 100% safe, there wouldn't be a federal law that created a vaccine court protecting pharmaceutical companies from lawsuits over harm caused by their vaccines, all on the taxpayer's dime.
In short: anyone who discusses the safety or harm of vaccines without specifying which vaccines, additives, and illness are in question, is either grossly uneducated, or purposely confusing the issue.
To anyone doubting, research any of the following: Gardasil and MS, MMR and fibromyalgia, thiomersal and immunodeficiency, hep B vaccine and guillain–barre syndrome, simultaneous vaccine administration and mitochondrial enzyme deficit, and aluminum entropy in biological systems.
