Last week Jimmy Kimmel rounded up some doctors and made a pretty excellent PSA telling people why they should get their kids vaccinated instead of getting their medical advice from that aunty on Facebook who believes kale smoothies can cure cancer. While the response was overwhelmingly positive, there was a small but vocal minority who yelled at Kimmel on Twitter for taking Big Pharma money, encouraging autism, and all the other weird shit anti-vaxxers are convinced people who get their kids protected from deadly preventable diseases do.

Rather than take it to heart, Kimmel selected a few of the choicest quotes and read them out on-air, because there’s nothing like the words from supporters of the anti-vaxxer “movement” to show how truly stupid it is.
