      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.

          There is no such thing as “adult children”.

          You’re close. It’s meant to induce fear of what they perceive to be vaccine injured severely autistic children. Regardless of the actual underlying cause.

          Yes, the purpose of invoking horror is to invoke fear as well. I thought that was implicit in what I said.
