Rob Schneider: Auditioning for Jenny McCarthy’s job as world’s most famous celebrity antivaccinationist?

I suppose it’s possible that there might be doubt that Rob Schneider has become a complete and total antivaccine wingnut. Possible, but not reasonable. After all, he’s shown his cards and risen to prominence with his attacks on vaccine science made as part of his effort to oppose the passage of California Bill AB 2109, which was finally passed and signed by Governor Jerry Brown, but not without an attempt to water it down by adding a pointless (and probably unconstitutional) set of instructions for implementation in a signing statement. Leading up to this, Schneider had “made a name for himself” by speaking at an anti-AB 2109 rally, comparing the bill’s sponsors to Nazis, and actually trying to make the specious argument that AB 2109 somehow violates the Nuremberg Code.

Yes, Schneider’s already done enough to demonstrate that he is an antiscience know-nothing when it comes to vaccines, but apparently he hasn’t done enough to satisfy himself. What could he do to make it absolutely clear beyond the proverbial shadow of a doubt that he’s gone down the rabbit hole of bad science, bad arguments, and pure misinformation that drives the antivaccine movement? Easy. He can start commenting on AoA:
