> Measles, a dangerous illness that for decades has rarely infected Canadians, is back – and spreading. [...] Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., left, now the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, stands with protesters in Olympia, Wash., in 2019, opposing a bill to tighten measles, mumps and rubella vaccine requirements for school-aged children.
Reading this, it's a challenge to feel empathy. Everyone deserves some degree of empathy, idiots too. Yet this topic seems so needlessly self inflicted. Maybe it's a more nuanced topic than I'm aware of, is there a strong argument against vaccination?

There's a fraudulent argument against vaccination. Unfortunately many people believe the fraudsters.

if ever there was someone that met that definition, it would be him
presumably that's why peter thiel went on his spiel about the antichrist -- because he's met him, and is trying to get out in front of it
