Kathryn Wood shops for her Thanksgiving Turkey in San Antonio, 1941. 38 years later, in 1979, she would watch in horror as her husband, Judge John Wood, was assassinated right in front of her. The assassin was Charles Harrelson, actor Woody Harrelson's dad. A crazy story.

How awful. This is outright health disinformation, lying to the American people. Not only is there massive evidence showing no link between vaccines & autism, there’s not even a plausible mechanism based on what we’ve learned about the genetics of autism, some environmental exposures in pregnancy
HEADS UP: CDC website now officially asserts that vaccines may cause autism.“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.” Also says the “vaccines do not cause autism” header remains b/c of an agreement with Cassidy.
