Unvaccinated Rockland County, N.Y. man diagnosed with polio

There's a good write-up of Andrew Wakefield's narcissistic journey to stardom in the USA. He became a Trumper acolyte even before 2016. Searching for the media spotlight here after having his medical license in Britain revoked.

Despite being discredited, struck off and exiled, disgraced doctor Andrew Wakefield has partnered with Aussie supermodel Elle Macpherson and been endorsed by President Donald Trump.

There have always been AVs, and that pig Andrew Wakefield & Co. spawned a lot more.

Then the snake-oil vendors realised that it's a good market - even more AVs.

Ever since then, I've believed that we'll see many outbreaks of preventable disease, and it'll be kids most affected.

Now C19 ....

I wonder how many people will have to be crippled by polio before governments invest in a return to general vaccination.

If these people aren’t worried about crippling their own children then they’ll not be worried about infecting the rest of us either

Seriously we were done as a species the moment we invented the interwebs. 💀

FFS. Every since this stupid anti vaxx bullshit started up, figured it was only a matter of time until diseases almost almost eradicated in the US started breaking out. Whooping cough has already done so; diphtheria in NSW. Now polio.

Been almost 25 years since Wakefield‘s fake autism study; over twenty since Jenny McCarthy started her yapping. Why the media gave, and gives her coverage is beyond me.
