The platform targeted advertisements and anti-vaccination materials at women in regions with high numbers of measles reports
WASHINGTON — An 18-year-old from Ohio who famously inoculated himself, against his mother’s wishes, in December says he attributes his mother’s anti-vaccine ideology to a single source: Facebook.
Lindenberger said he believed his older siblings, who pre-date Facebook, had been vaccinated. He said his younger siblings have not. “I didn’t agree with anything he said.” Jill Wheeler, Lindenbergers mother, told The Associated Press. “They’ve made him the poster child for the pharmaceutical industry.” Wheeler was not available for comment before this story was published.
“Not Facebook,” Lindenberger said, laughing. “From CDC, World Health Organization, scientific journals and also cited information from those organizations … accredited sources.” In his testimony, he said he approached his mother repeatedly in an attempt to sway her views. In one instance, he cited the CDC. His mother replied, ‘That’s what they want you to think.’ ”
