      Is his nonsense getting worse, or has his fan base come to their senses and he’s now fair game?

    2. Measles, Chicken Pox. Tomato, Tomatillo.

      Joe Rogan, Dumb Fuck… oh wait these are the same thing.

      Edit: liked tomatillo over tamato. Made more sense to me.

      He’s lying. He was born in 1967.

      We started vaccinating against measles in 1963, he’s never seen measles because moms were lining up to get vaccines.

    4. Everybody had measles and nobody had autism! It was great!

      Sorry, but chicken pox sucked and he’s an idiot. Why would I want someone I care about to experience crotch pox? That was so very terrible.

    5. I feel that Huntley and Brinkley, Walter Cronkite or Edward R. Murrow would not have made this error. I miss non-biased reporting.

    6. Also, kids still die from chicken pox. It’s not *common*, but even now it still claims dozens of lives each year in the US.

      I saw somebody say they had “measles parties” as a child. Like….nah, no you didn’t. Chicken pox parties, sure. But measles parties? I am calling your bluff.

      This is a dangerous man who is spreading false information which can get people killed. And so many people listen to his bullshit.

    9. Guy is a moron. We all got vaccinated because our parents remembered how f’ed it was when kids got sick with measles and sometimes died.

    10. It’s okay for a comedian to be wrong about medical shit. It’s absolutely fucking insane that he’s not only allowed to profit off of being wrong….but that he somehow gains credibility because he profits off of being a complete fucking moron

      All but positive he’s thinking of chicken pox and my best mate has had it twice. Once as a kid and once at about 30. When he got it as an adult jeeeeeez it knocked him around something fierce

      Plus, getting chickenpox set us all up for shingles…. My 80+ year old mom thought she never had chickenpox so she didn’t bother with the vaccine. I think she is just an asymptomatic carrier. She ended up getting corneal replacement as a result of scarring caused by shingles inside her eyes.

      And my older brother and I got chickenpox twice each, and my little brother had a really awful case when he was two.
