Dr. Hotez v. Vaccine Misinformation

 In The Politics of Autism, I analyze the myth that vaccines cause autism. This bogus idea can hurt people by allowing diseases to spread   Examples include measlesCOVID, flu, and polio.

 At TNR, Melody Schreiber writes of RFK Jr.:

“It’s hard to know how this is all going to play out. But right now, everything appears very dark,” said Peter Hotez, dean for the National School of Tropical Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine. And yet, he added, “I don’t think we’ve hit bottom. I think he’s continuing to chip away, with some pretty big chips, to erode our vaccine ecosystem. I don’t see a turnaround at this point. We’re still in free fall as far as I’m concerned.”
