De Niro likely hasn't taken a science course since middle school. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

They're not teaching a lot of immunology in 10-12 either.

What's stopping you from making successful cross-disciplinary observations and analysis?

Nothing's stopping me. DeNiro, OTOH, doesn't have the background to do that. To repeat, he's a high school drop out! Shows how difficult film-making must be!

What are your credentials for blowing your nose?

I wanted to just know who they were, because to me there was no reason not to see the movie. The movie is not hurting anybody. It says something. It said something to me that was valid. Maybe some things were inaccurate, but if the movie was 20 percent accurate, it was worth seeing. And they were saying it’s because of the filmmaker and he was discredited, but how was he discredited? By the medical establishment? There’s a lot going on that I still don’t understand, but it makes me question the whole thing, and the whole vaccine issue is a real one. It’s big money. So it did get attention. I was happy about that. And I talked about another movie called Trace Amounts that I saw and spoke about it a lot, that people should see it, and it’s there. Something is there with vaccines, because they’re not tested in some ways the way other medicines are, and they’re just taken for granted and mandated in some states. And people do get sick from it. Not everybody, but certain people are sensitive, like anything, penicillin." -Robert DeNiro, 5/20/2016, Cannes

He's wrong here. A documentary should be very accurate or the people making it are irresponsible. If the film is only 20 percent accurate it does have the potential to hurt people especially if it concerns health issues.

You know, I have asked people their credentials before and been told by the powers that be on this forum that it's not OK to do so. So don't ask me mine. I have stated my credentials in the past. Suffice it to say my science education goes beyond middle school into grad school.

I think you lack the life experience, education (formal and otherwise), and analytical ability to form a valid opinion on the subject of adverse vaccine reaction.

These people are credentialed too:

I am sure if these films were called Science Fiction instead of Documentaries, that the "powers that be" would still be calling for them to be banned purely on the basis that it might give people ideas contrary to what the industry wants them to believe.

No one has called for anything to be banned - you know that, right? You and yours aren't modern-day Galileos.
