Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism, and Hillary Clinton is Not a Liar

What on earth do anti-vaxxers and Hillary-haters have in common? I’ll tell you: They are terminally resistant to actual, verifiable FACTS.

The irony, of course, is that trying to protect their kids from the “evils” of vaccines exposes them to the actual scourge of vaccine-preventable illness.
