Marjorie Taylor Greene, a prominent Republican congresswoman and a staunch ally of Trump, suggested a return to “measles parties” for children. She criticized contemporary attitudes towards vaccination, stating, “Now, they demonize parents who refuse to vaccinate their kids.”
It all goes back to the BS “vaccines cause autism” thing.
The antivax movement goes back farther than Wakefield and the “causes autism” thing. That’s just when it became really popular.
