Before we roll out the censorship talking points, it is worth being clear on a couple of details, I think:
1. Amazon have removed two books out of hundreds (probably orders of magnitude more) of anti-vax books.
2. The books they removed do not seem to be primarily anti-vax, but quack medical advice on treating autism.
3. The only one we have details of recommended bathing your autistic child in industrial bleach.
Slippery slope arguments are one thing, but selling books advising how to abuse vulnerable children, is probably a libertarian argument to far for most.
- arghwhat 8y agoI suppose it's a matter of specifying your success criteria. If you goal is simply to not have an autistic child, then industrial bleach does wonders. In all seriousness, no punishment is severe enough for those willingly harming innocent children. If only we could force them to experience the pain and terror they caused with their own body.

I just can't believe that was published in a book seriously promoting autism cures...that's so fucked...there's people out there stupid enough to follow that advice...
