America seems to have more than it's fair share of them, but you'd expect more intelligence from a Kennedy.

Nice to see there are other Kennedys pushing back.

It's true that some kids are autistic, and were vaccinated at an earlier age. But causality is hard to prove, unless you are inclined to ignore evidence. And social media is great at encouraging people to gobble up unsupported theories and accept them as fact, and act on them. Sadly.

I'm guessing when kids start to die of any preventable disease, not just measles, the anti-vaxxers may want to change their tune.

Just to add, Australia is expecting (experiencing) a bad flu season. I got the vaccine as soon as possible, vaccine contained protection against 5 current strains. And no, I haven't gone autistic overnight. Take that on-board, anti-vaxxers!
