The CDC is now stating that vaccines may cause autism - a claim that has been serially debunked by scientists and doctors alike.

As we move into “foreigners are cancelling Christmas in the name of political correctness” season it’s worth remember that Christmas was indeed once banned in England, by Christians and the man who enforced the ban has a statue in his honour outside the Houses of Parliament.
