OK, so if I had interviewed him and loaded it to dTube it would be less disputable more palatable? This was all over Reddit. Posting something like this that is based in fact is a lot better than the unverifiable, rehashed, pseudoscience based utter nonsense that I see posted regularly on vaccines. Rhetoric is not fact, and this is, indeed factual.
FACT: Ethan is an 18 year old; FACT: He took responsibility and got vaccinated; FACT: He's speaking out about the misinformation and educating others; FACT: He's OK after having the vaccine.
There are currently of over 100 cases of measles across 21 states. The EU is reporting around 10,000 cases and it's only mid-Feb. In 2018 the Democratic Republic of the Congo reported 24,000 cases and 505 deaths - 505 dead!
Most of those deaths; children under the age of 5.
