"He has been one of the most influential voices in the anti-vaccination movement, not just in the U.S., but worldwide for more than a decade... the idea that he has nothing to do with this is crazy."

not caring about consistency and truth. But, it gets to him more than Trump when people call out his bullsh*t.

There was a time when he was a darling of the liberal movement. About 22 years ago, I was a regular listener to his podcasts on Air America. He wasn't just good. He was the best of them.
