WTF, @TheOklahoman? Why are you publishing a misinformation- and pseudoscience-packed editorial by an antivaccine anesthesiologist named Dr. Steven Lantier from @SurgeryCenterOK?https://www.oklahoman.com/article/5617173?access=e07a281ff2c014f9e26b8c69aab7db21&fbclid=IwAR35m3-1YTi6nhjjfTZUu4jg6I0twEUDFm_T8F3SOOCPbEkMYqs46tBZF4A …

Particularly hilarious is how Dr. Lantier says that hepatitis A vaccination rates are below the herd immunity threshold, "yet we haven't had outbreaks of these diseases for decades now." Dude, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. We have one in Michigan right now!https://respectfulinsolence.com/2017/11/10/mayor-algonac-responds-hepatitis-outbreak-promoting-antivaccine-pseudoscience/ …

The hepatitis A outbreak in SE Michigan started in August 2016, and it's still ongoing.There have been hepatitis A outbreaks in other states too. Dr. Lantier could have discovered that with just a little Googling. https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/0,5885,7-339-71550_2955_2976_82305_82310-447907--,00.html …

Unfortunately, Dr. Lantier was too busy spreading antivaccine misinformation and pseudoscience on the pages of
@TheOklahoman to bother to do even the most basic fact checking. So not only is he an antivaxer, but he's a sloppy antivaxer!1 reply 3 retweets 14 likesShow this thread
As for the rest, vaccines don't cause autism. Dr. Lantier's citing J.B. Handley (who founded the antivaccine group that Jenny McCarthy became associated with) on anything having to do with vaccines is risible.
