A Song for Anti-Vaxxers

 In The Politics of Autism, I analyze the discredited notion that vaccines cause autism. This bogus idea can hurt people by allowing disease to spread.

The British sister act Flo and Joan have a song for anti-vaxxers:

Hush, little baby, don’t say a word 

Daddy’s going to cure you with good wishes and herbs 

And if those good wishes do you wrong 

You won’t have to worry 

‘Cause you won’t last long 

 I will not have my angel injected with autism 

From these cocktails you concoct 

From witches’ tits and horses’ jizzum 

The facts might say otherwise 

But doctors screw up all the time
 

I haven’t trusted science since I saw the film Flubber
