Amazon Won’t Take a Stand in War Over Anti-Vaxxer Book
An upcoming book by an anti-vaxxer has spawned two online petitions—one calling for Amazon to ban it and the other calling for the retailer to sell it.
But so far, Amazon—which has been criticized for giving anti-vaccine bunk higher billing on the site—won’t say if it plans to stock The Autism Vaccine: The Story of Modern Medicine’s Greatest Tragedy by Forrest Maready.
Maready, who has pushed the scientifically unsound theory that metal in vaccines causes football players’ chronic traumatic encephalopathy, is self-publishing his book on May 1 through his own company, Feels Like Fire.
