The misguided beliefs of the anti-vaxxers may be why Trump so dislikes formal education—dumb dasn’t object to dumber.

And yet there are doctors (!) amongst anti-vaxxers. So education can be wasted by some.

I think Trump has dyslexia, and reading disability. He literally can only read bullet points. Paragraphs are all confused to him.

Where did these doctors go to school. Oral Roberts had an accredited medical school in Tulsa.

Bible college, probably.

Yes! Then vaccines saved his life, then the doctor who did that, was fired.

Yes. Nothing but hypocrisy.

Dyslexia doesn’t explain ignorance, stupidity and stubbornness. Plenty of extremely talented and knowledgeable dyslexic people around.

Very true … but I wasn’t talking about dyslexia but willful ignorance.
