Recently, racist memorabilia authority Keean Bexte -- in his ongoing efforts to fundraise by demonizing medical professionals -- published the following jaw-dropping falsehood:
To Bexte's credit, he followed this up with a curious and annoyingly vague correction:
So what's a little odd about that correction? I'm glad you asked.
What's odd is that Bexte does not subsequently provide the correct age information for what is called "DTaP" (diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis) vaccination, so one has no way of knowing whether Bexte was just a bit wrong, or howlingly, massively, spectacularly wrong, and this is important given the point he was trying to make. Instead, it's just ("Hey, I fucked up, but look at my nobility in admitting it, so let's move on.")
Given how Bexte was clearly trying to paint Fauci as a total monster for suggesting vaccinations for infants, it behooves us to take about seven seconds to do an online search, whereupon we learn that Bexte was, in fact, howlingly, massively, spectacularly wrong:
Bexte was not simply incorrect; he was irresponsibly, dangerously incorrect, and a simple apology should not get him off the hook.

I guess it would matter if he did. He doesn't.
