James Purser wrote “Stop Using Autism to Push Your Own Brand of Lunacy” about the organisations that use Autism for their own political agenda [1]. He references the ongoing vaccine issue (which didn’t even stop when Andrew Wakefield was proven to have engaged in fraudulent research) and a campaign of PETA. PETA’s Claims PETA claims […] Amazon is providing free EC2 access for new customers (who have never been customers before) for one year [1].
