What's this?

Not correct with the vaccine description-by a giant margin, his dedication

has been against essentially all vaccines -- that they are poison, but especially children's vaccines. This has been the focus of his life for years -- both pre and post COVID. I linked an article here recently and will again if you like of just one example how his efforts within the past 5 years led directly to a major measles outbreak in Samoa and 70+ kids died. Whatever he has said and not said related to COVID, his dedicated message has been against vaccines overall and in particular children's vaccines -- MMR and others. He has followers on all sides based on his vaccines = poison stance, but the right is much more embracing of this now -- including more of some quantity of today's "mainstream" right.
