Anti - vaxxers have systematically diffuse rumors that are dangerous .   They ’ve repeatedly referenced a many - clock time debunked study that vaccines cause autism ( they do n’t ) .   They ’ve spread the conspiracy possibility   thepoliovirus does not exist , that pesticide induce any clinical symptoms of polio , and that eat yoghurt cause HPV .

Inventing and circularize   weird rumors is   sort of their thing .

Now they have make out up with a Modern confederacy theory , and it ’s in reality pretty great and one we ’re happy for them to unfold around the Internet .

As descry by several Twitter , Reddit and Facebook exploiter , they now seem to believe that hold a tater to your kids ' arm will suck out the " toxin " from vaccines .

" you may vaccinate your kids and then hold in a raw potato to the wounding where the phonograph needle entered , and it will soak up the toxins from the vaccinum out , leave only the non - toxic parting , " a post inform anti - vaxxers . " It ’s a great way to last out healthy AND cross big pharma !

Of coursethis is nonsense and there is no way a potato is going to suck anything out of your arm , before we even get into the logistics of Maris Pipers being capable to mark between the " toxic and non - toxic parts " of an MMR jabyou should do this one eldritch trick that Big Pharma does n’t need you to know , anti - vaxxers .

Twitter is part   between people who care the possibility and want to spread it around in the Bob Hope that it solves the anti - vaxxer problem and shifts a few Solanum tuberosum …

… people who ca n’t consider the amount of stupid they just register …

… and the great unwashed who just found it quite funny .

Us ? We principally just like   picturing a nurse ’s confused expression   when they look up after vaccinating a kid only to find the patient role ’s parent sheepishly pull out a sacking of King Edwards out their   bag and rubbing it on their materialization ’s wound .

" Wh- what ’s that?““Nothing . ““Is that a potato salad-““OH I SEE YOU’RE IN LEAGUE WITH BIG PHARMA TOO "

Anyway , hopefully , this fresh hearsay works , at least until the anti - vaxxers decide it ’s potato pushing from the pro - potato agenda of Big Potato .
