US anti-vax MAGA rob schneider

Maga cultist and anti-vaxxer Rob Schneider claimed there were no Children’s Hospitals when he was a kid – 17 sick burns

Actor Rob Schneider (Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo, 50 First Dates and more) famously switched his political allegiance from Democrat to Republican way back in 2013. He’s since become a full-throated supporter of the MAGA cult and shares their anti-vaxxer views.

It’s this anti-vaccination stance that has led him to post the following on his Twitter account to his 2.2M followers. It’s quite the claim…

FYI… There were NO Children’s Hospitals when I was a kid. Because kids weren’t sick. With a community note saying the first children's hospital in the US opened in 1855, and earlier in other parts of the world.

It’s obviously an outrageous lie which is easily disproved and it’s even been corrected by a Community Note, but Schneider seems to be sticking with it as he hasn’t deleted the post (at the time of writing).

Here’s a little more detail.

As you’d expect, there were many people in the replies calling out Schneider’s nonsense.
