44 children of Somali immigrants get measles after parents fall under sway of anti-vax activists

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/0...

Dr. Wakefield personally met with the community to persuade them not to vaccinate. Of the 44 sickened children, most are under age 5.

It should be a federal crime for anyone to participate in an organized effort to dissuade people from vaccinating.



Why can't we kick this Wakefield out of the country? He's done a hell of a lot more damage than any undocumented guy washing dishes has ever dreamed. 


Hopefully he's found to be committing some sort of fraud or has misrepresented himself as a doctor. In his last go round he clearly had financial incentives for doing what he did. 

Diagnosing from a distance is fraught with peril, but gun to head I'm going with sociopath.
