Insane vaccination skeptic bitches about his weak immune system. Oh by the way, he's a doctor at ... wait for it ... the Cleveland Clinic.
The source of Daniel Neides’s vitriol was a flu shot that left him feeling unwell. The physician was particularly incensed, as he wrote in a column at Cleveland.com, because although the vaccine was billed as preservative-free it contained the compound formaldehyde. He insinuated that the organic compound was the cause of a 48-hour malaise that kept him in bed and out of the office.
...
And in a statement later communicated via hospital representative to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Neides offered an apology. “I apologize and regret publishing a blog that has caused so much concern and confusion for the public and medical community,” he said. “I fully support vaccinations and my concern was meant to be positive around the safety of them.”
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Neides is the director of the hospital’s Wellness Institute, which promotes healthy lifestyles through “world-class medical care and quality wellness programs”; the Institute’s website advertises homeopathic detox remedies and a gluten-free Florida retreat. It is under the umbrella of the larger Cleveland Clinic.
Vaccinations and gluten = bad, homeopathic bullshit = good. Glad that's out of the way.
Neides, in addition to damning formaldehyde, raised the specter of the widely debunked claim that there is a link between vaccine and autism. “Does the vaccine burden — as has been debated for years — cause autism?” the doctor wrote. “I don’t know and will not debate that here.” Still, Neides went on to write that the aluminum in vaccines “can be incredibly harmful to the developing nervous system.” He also said the medical benefits of vaccination should not come at the “expense of neurologic diseases like autism and ADHD increasing at alarming rates.”
How is this fucker still licensed to practice medicine? Oh well, at least there are other dipshits in high places who have his back.
Trump also tweeted in 2014 that, “Healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn’t feel good and changes — AUTISM.”
