Imagine, in the 21st century some asshole making profoundly stupid comments like this.

janemarie · February 2, 2015, 10:49pm

Now, he’s just making up crap!

Nailing down that valuable Internet Conspiracy Theory Sucker demographic for 2016.

Have we gone insane as a country? It’s not acceptable to say patently false sh%t and not get called on it?

This is heading into the same damn territory as climate change, and we’re all going to pay a price for the media’s unwillingness to call this nutcases on their nuttery.

teenlaqueefa · February 2, 2015, 10:49pm

Of course, it’s Rand Paul.

“Rand Paul: Vaccines Can Cause ‘Profound Mental Disorders’”

So in other words, Rand Paul has been vaccinated.

In a related article, Rand Paul also explains how masturbating causes blindness…

And getting zero pushback on them, and, indeed, probably gaining supporters, as a result.

Rand seems drunk in this clip

brooklynmichael · February 2, 2015, 10:51pm

Oh…he’s heard of many tragic cases…Well, I’m convinced! Vague anecdote trumps a century of science!

“I have heard of many tragic cases of walking, talking normal children who wound up with profound mental disorders after vaccines,”

ANECDOTES =/= DATA

CORRELATION =/= CAUSATION

IT’S WHAT I WANT TO HEAR =/= PROOF

A BUNCH OF US AGREE =/= SCIENCE

Randy, Randy,on any given day yours is a mind full of profoundly disordered ideas.

tomanjeri · February 2, 2015, 10:52pm

Thank you Chris Christie and Rand Paul. Anti-vaxxers exist in both liberal and conservative/libertarian circles, but the two of you just made this a GOP “anti-science” platform for the next few years.

mmurdoch · February 2, 2015, 10:53pm

We’re going to finally have this out. Thank you, Flying Spaghetti Monster. All the anti-government, anti-science kookiness is concentrated in this one issue, LET"S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLE!!!

Perhaps this is why he became a self-certified ophthalmology, so he could cure himself when the day came?

caterpillar · February 2, 2015, 10:54pm

Apparently several times per day, each day of his life.

richardnixonhuberthumphrey · February 2, 2015, 10:54pm

How in the living fuck did this imbecile pass his USMLE Step 1 exam???!!??

richardnixonhuberthumphrey · February 2, 2015, 10:55pm

I don’t have to imagine. Thanks, Rand Paul!

blue_bear · February 2, 2015, 10:55pm

Of course, he read all about it in his daddy’s racist newsletters.
