Anybody else find it mildly annoying when articles like this spend a paragraph saying "as a/an X, Y, and Z ... blah ..."
In this case the follow-up is "I’m worried that our nation’s health will soon be threatened because we have not stood up to the pseudoscience and fake conspiracy claims of this movement."
You have to be a scientist and have daughter with autism to worry about this? Really? As a person who's not a scientist and doesn't have an autistic/disabled daughter am I allowed to be worried too?
I mean it's nice that you're an expert and have experiences, but they're mostly superfluous prefix to your main sentence there...
(That said, I would support a law allowing for the parents of unvaccinated children to be charged with manslaughter or attempted manslaughter when pre-vaccination infants, those on chemotherapy, or similar come down with a disease like measles and live in the same vicinity, go to the same schools, etc.)
