The unjustified persecution complex here is epic. Here a highly successful white screenwriter has the temerity to liken the "plight" of antivaxers to the experience of black people in the US. SMH.

The most recent mention I saw of it was in June in this interview with Dr. Stamat about another of her efforts. 4/ https://www.thefourohfive.com/film/article/a-film-that-raises-more-questions-than-it-answers-is-a-great-film-meet-director-jocelyn-stamat-m-d-152 …
And Mr. Rossio is doubling down in asserting equivalence between using the word "antivaxer" and using the "n-word." It's ahistorical offensive nonsense for more reasons than I can easily enumerate in a brief Tweetstorm. 5/
However, to see a successful, privileged, wealthy white screenwriter seriously make such a comparison tells me all I need to know about the movie adaptation of "Callous Disregard" he and Stamat are working on. 6/
If it's ever completed, the film version of "Callous Disregard" will almost certainly be hagiography of one Andrew Wakefield, the scientific fraud who almost single-handedly caused the resurgence of measles in the UK and elsewhere with his awful @TheLancet case series. 7/
As for @terryrossio's equating using "antivaxer" to calling a black person the "n-word," that's just epically stupid. Being an antivaxer is a CHOICE, and calling someone out for his or her harmful CHOICES is justified. I doubt Mr. Rossio will understand that. 8/8
How are they planning to present the opening scene, in which Wakefield glorifies the murder of an autistic child by his mother, presenting it as a good thing? Will they suggest murdering children with disability is good, in loyalty to their source?
I have no idea. I haven't read "Callous Disregard," but I am aware of its opening chapter.
