Robert De Niro Continues Trek To Senility By Spouting More Anti-Vaxx Crap

Ohhhh no. We must remind ourselves that as we get older, our idols do too. And as is the cycle of life, young progressives suddenly and without warning start barking reactionary conservative and/or paranoid nonsense once they hit a certain age. It is the way of the world.
The latest victim in the ‘I got old and now I’m scared of everything’ story is none other than Robert de Niro
He’s spoken out about the non-existent, scientifically debunked link between autism and vaccines, saying that he wants “to know the truth.”
Which could easily find out, if he spoke to any scientist currently working in the field of vaccines, or a doctor! 
The actor has made the comments in referral to the film ‘Vaxxed’ which was pulled from the Tribeca Film Festival (which he co-founded) earlier this year due to public pressure. However, he says that everyone should see the film, because “there’s definitely something to it”.
We couldn’t help but notice that earlier this month, he was photographed sitting next to and having a hearty discussion with notorious anti-vaxxer Jim Carrey at a birthday function for Jerry Lewis. But that’s not connected at all, we’re sure.

But hey, who are we to tell them that they’re just flat out wrong? We’ll let science do that:
