If Dr. Andrew Wakefield 'admitted it was completely fake' why would he produce a movie in 2016 with Dr. William Thompson of the CDC saying precisely the opposite?

He and others have provided enough information to the BMA to be struck off, and enough to the Lancet for the research to be withdrawn.

He still makes movies because that's how he makes his money these days - scamming rubes.

if a cdc whistleblower doesn't phase you nothing will

You mean unsubstantiated bluster, as compared to the actual, you know, fuck-ton of science that shows there's no link and never has been?

No, that doesn't phase me in the slightest. If rumours of someone claiming to be from the CDC having said something provocative are a form of evidence to you, then I feel sorry for you.

Your childish insults have no effect on me.

My post was.neither childish nor an insult.

Facts have no effect on you either then?

Wakefield is no longer a Doctor... quit calling him one.
