‘Only the Lord God Almighty Is in Control’: Texas Lawmaker Attacks Noted Pediatrician, Calls Vaccines ‘Sorcery’


An anti-vaccine Texas Republican state lawmaker attacked a distinguished medical doctor, the dean and chief of pediatric medicine at Baylor College of Medicine National School of Tropical Medicine, over vaccines this week.

State Rep. Jonathan Stickland (photo) made a wide variety of remarks on Twitter, at one point telling Dr. Peter Hotez, the noted global health and vaccinology expert, to "mind your own business" as he exploded into his anti-vaxx rant, which The Houston Chronicle reported.

Stickland, who describes himself on Facebook as a "Conservative Christian Republican," also insisted that vaccines are "sorcery," and "only The Lord God Almighty is in control."

Dr. Hotez had posted a graphic to Twitter, warning of the explosive growth of vaccine exemptions, and expressing concern that children in Texas "have been placed in harm's way for the financial gain of special & outside interest groups."

4. Well, there is, but it is relatively expensive a generally requires about 12 boosters.

It is a fact based education.
