In reaction to Cinema Libre's decision to distribute the film, Todd Drezner, the father of an autistic son and creator of a neurodiversity-themed movie that was distributed by Cinema Libre, wrote an open letter to Cinema Libre criticizing Vaxxed and Cinema Libre's decision to distribute it, writing: "By releasing Vaxxed, Cinema Libre is actively harming thousands of autistic people. While we should be discussing ways to best support autistic people and help them lead fulfilling lives, you would instead have us follow a discredited scientist and dishonest filmmaker down a rabbit hole that leads only to long-debunked conspiracy theories. I am profoundly disappointed."

This is very much my point to you all that support the anti-vax movement. If you have something to show that can be proven then we all support those efforts. It's just that you need to be able to know when to cut the losses. The autism and vaccine link was fabricated and hyped by Jenny Macarthy, Oprah Winfrey and others and it's now known that it was a fraud.

So instead of putting the effort in to finding the real causes of autism your efforts are spun off. In fact it makes you look bad because holding on to a discredited idea taints your other positive efforts.

Funny thing is, so many of the people in to anti-vax talk about others having vested interest in one thing or another and that they are biased and can't see the truth. Take a look in the mirror, I say, and tell me if there is anything that could convince you that your position might have some areas that need to be expunged? I can very easily say that I have a lot to learn on this and any subject and that I am extremely willing to alter my opinion 180 degrees if it is shown to be wrong.

Is the feeling mutual?
