Ooooooh boy. I have no idea what kind of rabbit hole I'm entering here, and this may end up being the 1) longest, 2) least read, and 3) most unworthwhile (yes, it's a word) post in the history of blogs. But fuck it, I'm doing it anyway.

If you've landed on this page, one of three things has happened:

• You've been a loyal reader, got an email notification about this post, and you clicked it.

• You searched the internet for "docbastard vaccines" for some stupid reason, or

• I or (hopefully) someone else referred you here from Twitter because you made some bullshit argument about vaccines.

If it's #3, there is at least a 99.21% chance (I calculated it) that you haven't even read this far. But in case you have, please immediately refer to the number I listed so you can quickly find out why you're wrong here wrong.

If that last sentence doesn't make sense, just read on. Everyone else knows it will all come together by the end.

Sam Kovac can’t say for sure what prompted it, but in the past few weeks the Sydney veterinarian has been faced with the same alarming, beguiling question over and over: “Will this vaccination give my dog autism?”

“It’s actually ridiculous. I mean you hear chatter over the years, but just in these last few weeks it’s really, really ramped up,” he tells Guardian Australia.

“Most of the time people are OK, they’re not staunchly against it once you tell them the science and the statistics [but] we have had people walk out in hysteria, saying that there is absolutely no way their dog is getting [vaccinated] because they believe it causes auto-immune diseases or, specifically, autism.”

Kovac is so perturbed by the trend that he felt moved to speak out about it in Sydney’s Daily Telegraph this week, saying he didn’t believe anti-vaxxers deserved to have animals as pets if they were willing to put them at risk of diseases such as canine parvovirus.

“They are sentencing their dog to death from one of the most shocking, horrible viruses you can imagine,” he says.

Israeli flight attendant dies from measles

The 43-year-old woman became unwell on the flight in April. It is unclear where she contracted the disease.

It is the third death from measles in Israel since November, after none there for 15 years, reports say.

The stewardess, who has not been named, suffered brain damage due to complications from the virus and had been in an induced coma, according to media reports.

Note the date.

At least he's kept a lid on it since he got into politics.

From April.

I meant specifically the anti-vaxxer stuff, not stupid shit in general.

↑ You like to weasel out, eh? Admittedly keeping track of "stupid shit in general" would keep us busy 24/7, but, to me at least, vaccines —> autism and windmills (sic) —> cancer are in the same league.

[Abdul Alhazred]

The shit about windmills does not actively encourage the spread of deadly diseases, ergo not in the same league.

Has he retracted it? Is the tweet still active? Yep. You can delete tweets, you know.
Has he said anything at all to indicate that this is no longer what he believes?
