It's pretty absurd to ignore broad scientific consensus (which includes a pretty large number of Harvard immunology PhDs) while buying into the lies of a single authority who happens to argue what you like to hear. Cherrypicking one discredited scientist out of a million who backs up your beliefs is very clearly "anti-science". Just to address the actual article, which is filled with demonstrable lies, see the "What else does Tetyana Obukhanych say?" section here: https://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/appeal-to-false-authority-who-is-tetyana-obukhanych/ https://www.skepticalraptor.com/skepticalraptorblog.php/appe...

The title of the article reads "Harvard Immunologist to Legislators: Unvaccinated Children Pose ZERO Risk to Anyone" This is the recent news article that contradicts the claim: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2019/02/24/unvaccinated-boy-measles-costa-rica-first-case-5-years/2973582002/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2019/02/24/unvacci...
