Homer: “Marge, please, old people don’t need companionship. They need to be isolated and studied, so it can be determined what nutrients they have that might be extracted for our personal use.”
Marge: “Homer, would you please stop reading that Ross Perot pamphlet?”

There’s your Simpsons clip, I’m sure.

I swear, every time I look at that picture, all I can think is that’s it’s straight from Hollywood casting for “lunatic conspiracy theorist.” He’s on a tv show, where the director just told him, “OK, now look more arrogant as you’re describe the most insane theory ever to the protagonist.”
“These gloves came free with my toilet brush!” --“Dr.” Nick Riviera
Please… I’ve known plenty of people with associate degrees from community colleges who are plenty smart and aware of the importance of vaccinations, and some people with advanced degrees from top universities who think they are bunk. How about we not malign people trying to better themselves based on political charged comments by an ideologically driven individual.
Parental rights come with parental responsibilities - such as preventing the spread of a range of entirely-preventable biblically-approved diseases.
Off-topic, but I would pay good money for a Harry Potter remake, directed by Sam Raimi and starring Bruce Campbell, etc.

Hell, most of my daughters’ generation (they are 21 and 30) do not remember a world prior to 9/11. That is a whole way of thinking that I am not comfortable with, and I suspect where some of the generational conflict comes in. They are “meh” as to the importance of democratic government and pretty OK with an authoritative type of government as long as it is left-leaning. Of course, with what they have seen in their lifetimes, I can understand that. It is kinda sad, though. (And totally off topic. Sorry about that!)
