Just saw this. Makes no sense--all dogs are autistic: nonverbal, repetitive behaviors. It's clear,
As far as the new outbreak in WA--there's nothing left to be said. OK--maybe one thing. I wonder if the Russians are behind the antivax movement.

Fuck ya. They supported Jill Stein. She's an anti-vaxxer

The most cleared-eyed discussion of the anit-vax problem I've read.
Masha Gessen is a treasure--the most brilliant commentator writing today IMO

And it looks like the Russians may actually have something to do with the anti-vax movement

Really good read.

I feel like it should be re-published or followed-up as a long-form deep-dive article.

It helped understand how well-educated, informed people could be anti-vaccers.

I worked with a colleague a few years ago who created a socioeconomic vaccination model that ended up being based on income and education (as a proxy for trust in government and science).

Had job offers from 8 top tier schools before the PhD was finished.

Anyone else think his parents should be charged with neglect?

Or perhaps insurance companies could refuse to pay the bill for treating illnesses that can be prevented by vaccine in the unvaccinated?

Poor kid.

The kicker:

The case was the first incidence of pediatric tetanus that Oregon witnessed in over 30 years and resulted in $800,000 in inpatient charges. At the end of the ordeal, the report said, the boy’s parents refused further vaccinations before taking him home.

“Despite extensive review of the risks and benefits of tetanus vaccination by physicians, the family declined the second dose of DTaP and any other recommended immunizations,” the case study’s authors wrote.

JFC.
