On its website, VacTruth, which was
founded in 2009 by Navy veteran Jeffry John Aufderheide, states that
its mission “is to help [parents] find information on vaccine
ingredients and reactions” to free them from “fear.”
“For the readers who have asked this
question,” VacTruth wrote on its Facebook
page. “Do you think vaccinating a child with vaccines, that
are made up of endocrine disrupting chemicals, can affect the outcome
of a person's sexuality? Homosexuality is found in nature in other
species and has occurred in populations long before the advent of
vaccines. Some believe vaccines affect sexuality and some don’t. It
is known that vaccines do disrupt hormonal function and can cause
fertility and thyroid problems, so this is a legitimate question some
people want to learn more about.”
According to thespudd.com,
a site that works to expose “pseudoscience and quackery,” the
comments of outraged readers were deleted and they were banned from VacTruth's page.
“This is a familiar trick employed by
anti-vaccine advocates – create an echo chamber on their websites
and Facebook pages to make it appear as though everyone agrees with
what they are saying,” the site wrote.
