Interesting take. I’m open to new information, what evidence-based source is informing your opinion?

Disinformation & misinformation have real world consequences. Many of the people who will succumb from these preventable diseases will die still believing vaccines are a government plot.

Bravo ProPublica, well done. For the rest of us banging around in the comments, it’s apparent that we’re not immune from confirmation and other cognitive biases.

Great idea sir, those demo-brats could never pull the wool over your eyes. Beat em at their own game and push those legislators to eliminate the EC! That’ll show them.
