      Ugh. If this tabloid report is correct, it looks like @ellemacpherson is going to marry @DrWakefield, the man who more than anyone else sparked the 21st century antivaccine movement and endangered millions of children around the world. 1/ 😬 https://www.newidea.com.au/elle-macpherson-shotgun-wedding …

      “'Elle is really excited,'” says the insider. 'It will be the wedding of the year in her adopted hometown of Miami, given he’s friends with Donald Trump and she’s mates with Greg Norman. Elle knows that Andrew’s beliefs are controversial, but she loves natural medicine too.'" 2/

      Final sentence: "Together, she feels they could change the world.” Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. Wakefield has not only demonized the MMR vaccine, but he's been a pivotal figure in merging the antivaccine movement with #COVID19 denying #COVIDIOTS. 🙄 3/

      Unfortunately, Macpherson's star power could potentially give Wakefield's pseudoscience, quackery, antivaccine nonsense, and #COVID19 denial a wider platform than he's ever had before. 4/4

      Turns out complex social problems are actually complex and don't admit of easy solutions anywhere except on the internet, where angry, anonymous zealots bleet and sneer.

      I’ve encountered this guy many times before dating back several years on my blog. Welcome to his schtick.

          Good grief. Eight replies in response, meandering from Obama to Oprah to Orwell to Nazis, tells me all I need to know. 😳
