I appreciate all the hard work you are doing Sam by bringing these very special people to the podcast. I never trusted vaccines I rather trust nature’s medicine.
Like how he wound up making a fortune in the conspiracy theory community, built himself a million-dollar place down in Austin and started dating a supermodel (google it).
Honestly just disgusting for Sam to brag about being part of the “truth movement” when his business is selling this guy’s lies for him. “Truth” doesn’t mean “whatever bullshit sells premium subs.”
Even more shameless that he pretends he cares about protecting kids. Wakefield has done huge damage to children’s health, and he makes a ton of money doing it. Nothing does less for kids than shilling this bullshit for a dollar.
That was OUTSTANDING Sam.

Thanks. You guys are doing big things. Come to Michigan!
Sam gotta get Amanda Vollmer on the show,she:s a real outlaw ,a brain in all things alternative health and a conspiracy smokeshow to boot…
Sam, first of all, I love your work. Will find more of it on Rokfin soon.
Maaaad props to Dr Wakefield. Excellent stuff!!!
Wakefield forgot to mention some stuff!
Like how he had a massive financial interest in making people scared of vaccines when he published his bogus research: https://briandeer.com/wakefield/vaccine-patent.htm

Like how he got caught making that money by looting a nonprofit, stuffing his pockets with cash donated to help autistic children: https://leftbrainrightbrain.co.uk/2014/11/07/andrew-wakefield-paid-316k-to-administer-80k-in-grants-by-the-strategic-autism-inititiative/
This guy didn’t “lose everything.” He tried to get rich selling anti-vaccine conspiracy theories on the side, and then when that didn’t work he doubled down and made it his main business. He made enough shilling for straight dollar donations that he managed to go into the film business, making pretty gross propaganda that gets donations from bigger-ticket conspiracy theorists: https://violentmetaphors.com/2016/06/13/vaxxed-reviewed-what-happened-inside-the-movie/ and https://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/latest-act-from-andrew-wakefield-recycling-1986-anti-vaccine-tropes/

Keep up the good work guys! These episodes lately have been jam packed with information.
Dr. Wakefield underestimates his reach, I was watching his docs long before covid and actually heard him speak in person once. Great guest.
