In the US. It was Jenny McCarthy, she really gained a lot of popular and supporting attention around her wrong views, supported by the fraudulent research of Andrew Wakefield.
She was a celebrity so she had the status and power to stand up on a soap box and start yelling. I think you’re understating her influence on the American Public. She was on a popular day time talk show ‘The View’ for a while that lots of parents watched while home with their kids during the day.
Also, I honestly don’t know why we’re arguing about this. Both of these people suck and are responsible for the vaccine denial around us. I’m leaving it at that
Andrew Wakefield was a porn star and started vaccine denial?

Though its interesting this section of her bio is labeled under “Activism” and not “Controversy”.
And she got the idea from Andrew Wakefield’s paper before he was ejected from the British medical field.
Vaccine denial is about 2 weeks younger than effective vaccinations.
Jenny McCarthy is a footnote.

Well, she isn’t cited anymore but they still cite the paper and call Wakefield a dr.
Edit: I geuss fuck me if I want accuracy.
Lol alright dude.
Person A: why are we arguing? This is stupid. I’m done arguing.
Person B: continues arguing
I’m gonna go listen to the Monty Python skit now.
Would you like a 5 minute argument or the full half hour?
Hey, do you spit half truths or do you like the full truth?
