Max Zuckerberg, the daughter of Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, has turned six weeks old, and as any modern father would do, take his daughter to the doctor for the corresponding review and receive the vaccines they touch at their age. Maybe he only did it to share with his followers one more moment as a recent father, something he has been accustomed to lately, but the truth is that everything he does arouses interest and with this photo it shows that he is in favor of vaccines.
Interestingly, Zuckerberg lives with his family in California, the state with the lowest vaccination rate in the United States. With this post uploaded to your Facebook profile, close ranks manifesting his position in defense of vaccines. The comment of one of his followers, and the most voted, is especially striking.
Doctor's visit - time for vaccines!

California, an anti-vaccine state
Last year we thoroughly learned what happens with vaccines in California. The area is a hotbed of the anti-vaccine movement and in which there are cases of diseases that had been eradicated. In summer, a measles outbreak was experienced at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure parks to the point that it was requested that unvaccinated children not visit the parks.
We were also surprised to learn that PIXAR nursery school has the lowest vaccination rates in Silicon Valley. Apparently, the richest areas in the state are those where there are fewer vaccinations.
The matter has become so serious that the government finally took the reins and put in place a strict law whereby California children will not be able to go to school or daycare if they are not vaccinated.

The most striking of the photo uploaded by Zuckerberg to his Facebook profile was the comment of a follower, Stuart Duncan, who received almost 37,600 likes and says this:
As someone with autism, with a son with autism, as someone who is constantly watching good people put their own children at serious risk because of old, fraudulent fears of vaccines and autism… thank you for being sensitive. Thank you for doing what's right and also for showing everyone else that it's the right thing to do as well.
(As someone with autism, with a son with autism, as someone who is constantly seeing how people put their own children at serious risk due to old and uncertain fears about vaccines and autism ... Thank you for being sensible. Thank you for do what is right and also to show everyone else what is right.)
In his comment, Stuart refers to the fraud that related at the time to vaccines with autism, something that was later demonstrated, through scientific evidence, that it is not true, that everything was an invention of Wakefield, who spread the falsehood . Conclusive studies showed that the triple viral vaccine does not cause autism.
