No one has done more damage to public health and trust in science and medicine than Andrew Wakefield.

26 years after his wrong and fraudulent paper people are still spouting his nonsense about an alleged link between vaccines and autism.

The study was debunked countless times.

There is no link.
MARKWAYNE MULLIN: Why wouldn't we look at vaccines and autism?

HUNT: We have looked at it and the studies show there is no connection

MULLIN: So we shouldn't look at it again?

MO Gov Mike Kehoe is calling a special session to gerrymander the 5th District which encompasses Kansas City.

He is specifically violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which bans any voting practice that denies or weakens the power of a racial minority to elect its preferred candidates.
