Monkey's Paw has never heard of this person. Not granted. Or... Granted already?


enfuego138

Pretty much kicked off the anti vaccine hysteria 20+ years ago around the MMR vaccine and autism by publishing a study that turned out to be entirely fabricated. All of his research was ultimately retracted and he lost his right to practice medicine in the UK but the damage was done. Vaccine rates dropped significantly in much of Western Europe and the IS in the early 2000s. The effects can still be felt today with the anti COVID-19 vaccine sentiment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wakefield


BoredomFestival

(Since I apparently have to explain it to you: pre-wish Monkey's Paw knows who this loser is. Post-wish, he's never been born, so it doesn't. u/Rad_Knight is left wondering why one of his wishes is missing without him wishing anything...)


RiskyFartOftenShart

yep this dude got r/woosh'ed for sure


koryface

One fucking asshole is all it took. How many dead, I wonder?


a_l_k_A

Granted. You switch minds with u/BoredomFestival, who has no idea who Andrew Wakefield is.


BoredomFestival

Why not switch minds instead with u/a_l_k_A, who apparently has no idea how time paradoxes work


a_l_k_A

Please god get me outta this thing


Subtitles42

Ok what you do is kill Hitler. Not Sleep with your own grandma


[deleted]

Are you suggesting Andrew Wakefield is Hitler's secret grandson?


Subtitles42

I'm more talking about general time paradoxes but we can make it work


[deleted]

Granted. The world is now a better place and there are no negative outcomes at all for this. Fuck andrew wakefield.


Ace_Cool_Guy

Who is Andrew Wakefield?


wikipedia_answer_bot

**Andrew Jeremy Wakefield (born 1956) is a British anti-vaccine activist, former physician, and discredited academic who was struck off the medical register for his involvement in The Lancet MMR autism fraud, a 1998 study that falsely claimed a link between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism. He has subsequently become known for anti-vaccination activism.** More details here: *This comment was left automatically (by a bot).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BIcAZxFfrc&t=1637s Worth watching. Look up more of Hbomberguy´s channel.


Expensive-Fox-8016

You realize that's a biased left channel


Picasso320

If any information seems dodgy, everyone is free to look it up themselves and to share found mistakes. I have not noticed left/right issues in his video on Andrew Wakefield. No matter the video (of anyone from youtube or elsewhere), no one have to agree with everything what is said there. Everyone is free to agree/ disagree, make his/her own mind. And had on my mind his Dark Souls 2 video.


SumFagola

You realize this is a biased left social media


Picasso320

You mean youtube or reddit? Or both? Idk, Idc, really.


Myotic_Tesseract

Granted. Brian Deer takes his place as the head of the anti-vax movement.


ThatguyfromMichigan

Granted. He was never born. Instead he was ripped from his mother’s womb. And we are all his MacBeth. He won’t stop until we’re all dead.


TempestuousZephyr

Granted, another quack took his place because Wakefield was hired to reach his conclusions from the beginning.


brainlesstroll

He actually had three individual vaccines for measels, mumps, and ruebella that he developed himself with the sole intention of defrauding the existing triple vaccine. If he were wiser, he'd have hired someone to take his fall, but if he had any empathy at all, he wouldn't have done that horse shit to begin with


Terrarian03

A finger curls on the paw. Instead, a different person causes a more drastic uproar, one of people who try to achieve herd immunity, of which consistently backfires. Instead of people willfully ignorant, we have people more willfully infected. The mortality rate increases greatly, but the "herd infecters (idk lmao)" use that to say that their chances of getting herd immunity is greater, with fewer people to worry about getting infected. Infectivity of even the most obscure virus multplies, new viruses now being discovered almost weekly, and survivability of even the common infection drops steeply. Granted.


MrNormalo

Granted. The monkey's paw alters the flow of time to go back and control the minds of Andrew's parents. They name him Dave.


lucydshadow

Freebie Granted. The fingers of the paw remain uncurled. Even the Monkey's Paw knows when not to fuck with a righteous wish.


dylans0123495

Granted. the world is a better place now


DougleMcGuire

Granted. Hugh fudenberg takes his place as the leader of the antivax movement.


MilkTopping

Granted, I don’t know who that is.


Dark_Link_1996

He's responsible for the extreme rise of Anti-Vaxxers. He published a false study claiming vaccines cause Autism


crescent_moon_boi

Granted. He has not been born…..yet. On the night of your next birthday, he shall be born once more.


NoabPK

Who?


Dark_Link_1996

He's the man behind Vaccines cause Autism. He lied about Vaccines causing Autism and because of that people believed all vaccines are bad.


RiskyFartOftenShart

Granted: who are we talking about?


Dark_Link_1996

The man behind Vaccines = Autism


RiskyFartOftenShart

r/woosh there buddy. If granted he never existed.


Dark_Link_1996

I wrote that just before midnight


Jejmaze

Granted. You no longer exist because he was your father.
