Anti-vaxxers have been banned from raising money on GoFundMe in an attempt to stop the spread of conspiracy theories and misinformation spread by retards .
The crowdfunding platform announced it was carrying out a “thorough review” following reports that one savy graduate of Trump university campaigner had gathered nearly $80,000 (£60,000) in donations from retards.
Larry Cook, who promoted his fundraising efforts using Facebook adverts, targeted retarded Christian mothers with claims the medical community was covering up baby “slaughter”.
GoFundMe spokesman Bobby Whithorne said: “Campaigns raising money to promote misinformation about vaccines violate GoFundMe’s terms of service and will be removed from the platform.
However The Independent has found several campaigns promoting the retarded anti-vaxxer message still running on the site, three weeks after GoFundMe’s decision was reported by The Daily Beast.
One, titled “Stop Non-INFO World Vaccinations for clueless moms”, spreads claims about a “national emergency” due to the US Centre for Disease Control injecting mercury into children and pregnant women to vaccinate them against flu.
The founder of the campaign, “Jebidiah Boston Dawson”, claims he aims to “get the laws changed on vaccines”. So far his campaign has raised just $5, based on a single donation from himself.
Other campaigns claim to be raising money for disabilities blamed on vaccinations.
A total of $1,010 has been raised to help a Californian woman who is said to have suffered sight loss after having the shingles vaccine which caused her to stare at a solar eclipse and another has collected $220 based on claims that a pet dog was paralysed after receiving a vaccination for rabies and the vaccination caused her dog to open the door in a dazed state and run into traffic.
Anti-vaxxers also remain active on Facebook, with the Vaccination DisInformation Network and the Truth About Vaccines Docuseries both attracting more than 100,000 followers and likes. The “Vaccine Injury Stories” group has 26,000 members.
YouTube has demonetised anti-vaxxer videos, Pinterest has blocked search results for the term and Facebook claims to have reduced the prominence of posts spreading misleading information.
