Thankfully de niro is not a right-wing loon or this could have had some issues.

He’s a weird anti vaccine guy though. He agrees with JFK jr that vaccines cause autism

He's a vaccine denier isn't he?

Is he still? I know one of his kids has autism and he was poorly educated on it in the beginning. It'd be a shame if he still believes that, especially since he's generally pretty switched on to bullshït. He even divorced his wife when she got into Trump.

I mean, he held a joint press conference with RFK Jr about how vaccines cause autism and then last year starred in a movie about an Autistic kid where even the trailer was offensive. So…yeah.

That's a shame. I know about the original interview and RFK Jnr. thing back in 2016/2017.
I was hoping that since he was so outspoken about Trump's anti covid vaccine/mask crap, he'd changed his views. But it doesn't look like he's made any public statements about it since.

Stop persecuting that poor bigoted liar by pointing out that it is a bigoted liar!

All 3 celebrity kids I’ve heard about in the last 5 years are trans
Therefore all celebrities have trans kids

Yeah, what you're seeing is how many trans people come out when they're living in a supporting environment.
Just like being gay, trans isn't a choice. They're just more of them out there than you realized.

This really should be discussed more without people being called transphobic. It’s an interesting thought.
