Child Scientist Drops the Mic on Anti-Vaccination Crowd

It"s time to meet Marco Arturo.


And to then stand and applaud Marco Arturo.



This young man is only 12 years old, but he has recorded a video in which he comes across as very mature and knowledgeable for a kid his age.


In footage that has been viewed over 3.3 million times on Facebook, Arturo addresses all of those individuals who refuse to vaccinate their children.


Most people in this camp believe that vaccinations can lead to Autism.


To open the video, Marco explains that veryone has “been lied to by doctors and pharmaceutical companies about vaccines.”


Uh-oh. How so?!?


“After a lot of research I realized that vaccines do and will cause autism,” he says, holding up what he claims is a damning dossier of his findings.


Hmmm… interesting. We didn"t see this coming. Go on, Marco.


When the self-proclaimed scientist opens up the folder – which is title “Evidence That Vaccines Cause Autism” – all of the pages are blank. And then his mockery of this anti-vaccination crowd is made clear.


Why, exactly, are these pages blank?


“I think it might be because there is absolutely no evidence to support the statement that vaccines are linked to autism in any way whatsoever,” he says.


Arturo ends the video by urging all parents to vaccinate their kids and then by holding up one final sheet of paper.


It has the word "mic" written on it and Marco proceeds to drop it. HA! Amazing.


Watch for yourself:

Sarah Palin: Bill Nye is NOT a Scientist!!

Wait, is that Sarah Palin or Tina Fey?


Sometimes when we hear Sarah Palin talk, we’re just not sure if she’s being serious or if it’s part of an elaborate SNL skit, because either way, we always wind up laughing.



During the Washington premiere of Climate Hustle, a film that argues against the notion of global warming, the former Alaska governor dissed Bill Nye by suggesting he was no scientist.


“Bill Nye is as much a scientist as I am,” Palin said. “He’s a kids’ show actor, he’s not a scientist.”


Nye, known for the popular kids’ show Bill Nye the Science Guy, appears in the film and denounces those who question the veracity of climate change.


Palin called Nye an “alarmist” whose credibility is dubious.


While Nye indeed is a television personality for PBS, he also graduated with a degree in mechanical engineering from Cornell University, developed a hydraulic pressure resonance suppressor for Boeing and helped create sundials that were used in the Mars Exploration Rover mission.


He also served as vice president of The Planetary Society, an organization dedicated to space exploration and research.


Scientist. Pfffft!


Before becoming governor of Alaska and the running mate who destroyed John McCain’s chance at the presidency, Palin graduated from the University of Idaho with a degree in journalism and was a former Miss Wasilla.


Earlier this year, she expressed a desire to have her own Judge Judy-type show, despite not being a judge or a lawyer.


Now that’s entertainment.
