You have no idea what I do, playboy. And I have no reason to evade, because you’re no one to run from. Because of informed consent, I only give the vaccines that parents will *allow*. I’m not concerned about their feeling listened to, I advocate for my patient, not my wallet.https://twitter.com/JayGordonMDFAAP/status/1144509894940229632 …

Of course, these days antivaxers use the "appeal to Brady Bunch" bit to try to claim that people didn't view measles as serious 50-60 years ago that it's become basically an antivax meme.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/appeal-to-brady-bunch-vaccine-fallacy/ …
