Local father and anti-vaxxer Jimmy Maksell expressed his strong opposition to vaccinating his infant child based on the strong belief that vaccines cause autism. “Wakefield pretty much nailed that one from the start,” he told The Spudd in an interview.
But, much to the surprise and chagrin to other local anti-vaxxers, Mr. Masksell said that he does not believe vaccines cause any other conditions.
“There really is no evidence that vaccines cause ALS, epilepsy, SIDs, MS, Parkinson’s disease, arthritis, psoriasis, priapism or crotch rot,” he said. “I have heard my fellow anti-vaxxers blame vaccines for these conditions, but either there is no scientific evidence to support these claims, and in many cases the opposite is true.”
My Maksell further shocked members of his anti-vaxx community by not objecting to fluoride, GMOs, and sunscreen. He further went on to say that he does not believe the cure for cancer is being hidden by anyone and that the idea that cannabis oil can cure cancer is “so silly to not warrant comment.” He says that he was kicked out of several anti-vaccine Facebook groups for expressing his belief that “Monsanto is not a perfect company, but they are no worse than many others, and even do a lot of good in the world.”
