Of all the jerks out there peddling anti-vaccine propaganda, the worst offender is Andrew Wakefield. He's been at it for almost 30 years, being the original fraud who started the whole "MMR vaccine causes autism" bullshit in 1998, based on one fraudulent study in the Lancet. Believe it or not, he's still making the rounds. Here we tear apart a conversation he had with Michael Knowles of the Daily Wire. Get ready to be absolutely infuriated!
