#049 – Rob Schneider Views on Vaccines

The League of Nerds

Posted on November 2, 2014 in Podcast, The League of Nerds, Vaccinations // 4 Comments

Rob Schneider might not be a stapler but he is a douchebag. Myles and James are joined by Ross Exton for a chat about a video that is doing the rounds again thanks to the not so hidden CDC data linking African American children getting vaccines and autism.

About Myles Power (736 Articles)

My name is Myles Power, and I run the educational YouTube channel, powerm1985. I spend what little free time I have sharing my love of SCIENCE! through home experiments, visiting sites of scientific interest, and angrily ranting at pseudoscience proponents. I am also one of the founding members of the podcast 'The League of Nerds' - which I co-host with James from 'The History of Infection'.

Now Samoa is facing a measles outbreak and RFK. Jr. has been named in a political backlash in Samoa for scaring politicians in that country to not trust vaccines.

Once a week Myles Power, James Gurney and, on occasion, Buck Mulligan come together to try and make the world a slightly more rational place. Their podcast, The League of Nerds (TLoNs), is a light-hearted glance into some of the stranger and more serious realms of irrationality that, unlike other similar podcasts, feels more like an informal chat down the pub with friends rather than an unfriendly academic lecture. Each show lasts about an hour and the Nerds are often joined by a special guest who brings their own thoughts, knowledge, and experience to the show, making every episode fresh and unique. These guests range from highly credited scientists to Hollywood actors. A particularly interesting guest was the lead author of a HIV denialist book who tried to convince James (a Dr of microbiology who works on viruses) that viruses do not in fact exist. The Nerds are also big on building an online community and encourage their listeners to submit questions for the show in the hope of giving a platform to people whose voices might otherwise go unheard.

Help support my work online because Monsanto doesn’t pay as well as they did. On a serious note, I have been told that there is a small group of people interested in helping me out. If they were to support me, it would allow me to buy equipment and to help cover the costs, of which there are many. It will also allow me to visit places for videos that would normally be out of my price range, as well as attend and document pseudoscientific events. Top pledgers' names will appear at the end of all my videos and they will be sent something nice in the post every now and again.
