Local anti-vaccer Mark Hedberg is no stranger to posting comments and tweets about the dangers of vaccines. However, Hedberg was recently thrown for a loop when a pro-vaccine pharma shill used a lot of science and epidemiology words.
“I didn’t want to look stupid, so I needed to take a long time and Google all the science stuff he was talking about” explained Hedberg. “I mean, no one knows what log regression and cytokines are. I just wanted to say the same stuff I always say about mercury, aluminum, autism, and then call them a shill. It was a real low-blow of the pro-vaccer to go all science on me.”
Many anti-vaccers struggle with even the most basic science, let alone high level epidemiology and immunology.
“We encourage all of our cult members to stick to the main talking points,” said anti-vaccine cult leader Joe Gooding. “When the pro-science, pro-vaccine crowd starts using big words the best thing to do is call them a shill, tell them to do their research and follow it all up with an LOL.”
At last report, Hedberg appeared to heed the advice and simply replied with one word: “shill.”
