      The first @vaxxedthemovie was pure antivax propaganda disguised as a documentary. It was so blatant and manipulative that it works make Leni Riefenstahl, were she alive, blush and say, "Too much!"https://twitter.com/PeterHotez/status/1189862424796684288 …

      We're approaching the tragic release of Vaxxed II. 1st Vaxxed movie likely caused thousands of children to be deprived of their right to protection against serious infections. Presumably same for the sequel, all to benefit a handful of #antivax ringleaders https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/oct/31/vaxxed-2-movie-sequel-release-fears-propaganda?CMP=share_btn_tw …

      I agree, it also showed such hate and disgust for people on the #autism spectrum - another major tenet of the #antivax lobby. I would imagine the sequel won't be any better

      From the description in the article it sounds even worse than the first film, with lots of exploitative shots of low functioning children with severe autism. It sounds like what I sometimes call antivax autism porn.

          What do I mean by "antivax autism porn"? It's often found in antivax propaganda: Intentionally exploitative shots of severely autistic children exhibiting their most difficult to deal with behaviors. Antivax autism porn is designed to evoke horror at autism in the viewer.

          Heaven forbid people see what severe autism looks like.

          Someone should investigate your hard drives after that comment. Hell, I write smutty romance and could never dream of such a disgusting thought, much less comment. Can someone turn this over to human trafficking authorities?

          It's too early in the morning for this level of inanity. Porn is not human trafficking, and your equating them as an absolute is an insult to actual human trafficking victims. I'd say you should be ashamed but I doubt that emotion is in your wheelhouse.

          Horrifying. How can you pretend to work for human health while having zero empathy or consideration for the families who have been hurt by the products you push. You should be ashamed of yourself. I hope your patients see you have no respect for people who don't agree with you.

          The irony of you having “informed” in your name... If you have a child with a disability, you should listen to #ActuallyAutistic people. You’d learn a lot.
