LACROSSE, Wis. – A LaCrosse opthamologist called on Senator Ron Johnson to cancel his Monday media forum for anti-vaxxers. Robert Freedland told Johnson to “get out of the way” and let medical experts do their jobs. In a news release, Freeland pointed out that Johnson has no medical experience. Johnson says he merely is creating a platform that anti-vaxxers need to get their message out. But Freedland, who practices at Mayo Franciscan, sees it differently: “Johnson claims, clearly in bad faith, to just be sharing ‘the truth’ about vaccines, but the truth is that they’re safe, and they’re the best way for Wisconsinites to protect themselves and their loved ones.
