How antivaxers deceptively don the mantle of “vaccine safety activists”
Antivaxers like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. bend over backwards to represent themselves as "not antivaccine." Don't believe them. They are. It's how they suck in the clueless, like Robert De Niro and Pratik Chougule.

The most prominent examples of posts in the antivaccine crankosphere that tipped me off are on—of course!—the antivaccine propaganda blog Age of Autism, which references another blog’s post with blaring capitalized headlines, BREAKING: CDC WHISTLEBLOWER “DR. THOMPSON HAS BEEN HANDLED” SAYS DR. HOOKER AT MANHATTAN VAXXED Q&A. Elsewhere, He Who Shall Not Be Named (and to whom I shall no longer link, even with …
