In 2005, Joe Scarborough said something you would never hear on TV news today.
Speaking with RFK Jr., he legitimized the belief that vaccines CAN cause autism.
“Something happened in 1989!” Scarborough declared firmly.
In his own words, he said: “Parents would CONSTANTLY come to [him], and they’d bring [him] video tapes of their [formerly healthy] children. And they’re all about the age of [Scarborough’s] son or younger. Something happened in 1989!”
Twenty years later, it’s hard to ignore that the mainstream media never airs segments like this anymore.
Did the evidence change… or something else?
Most people have absolutely no idea how much public-relations machinery shapes what they believe about health.
PR campaigns don’t just change opinions, they change language in the process.
And when language changes, memories and ideas seem to disappear—including things we used to openly acknowledge, like vaccine-induced brain inflammation and neurological injury.
Today, those concepts barely exist in public vocabulary, but just decades ago they were recognized everywhere.
The shift happens slowly. That’s how the tactic is so successful. Most people don’t even realize it’s happening.
For example, take a look at this 1983 debate that took place on the largest talk show in America. A conversation like this would never, ever happen on TV today.
