What's happening?
I'm on the Vax panel and then our measles panel the following day, and we live in extraordinary times.
I couldn't have imagined a year ago we'd have Bobby Kennedy in the White House and be where we are.
I think we're beyond the tipping point.
The last 35 years seem to have evaporated and now we're in a very different world.
I was working on a film here in Austin.
I was shooting behind the scenes, and a lady said to me, she said, she was a producer on the film, and she said, I want you to go meet this gentleman who has need of somebody that does what you do, film, edit.
do motion graphics, and so I just had Cruz at the time, my son, in 2009, and my wife decided no vaccines whatsoever, and I was actually freaked out about that.
You know, I'd heard the same thing, you know,
you don't vaccinate your child, your child's going to come down with a horrible disease.
And so we had Cruz.
Very soon after he was born, I realized this kid is actually doing okay.
And I ended up going to this meeting with Andy Wakefield, and my mother had just sent me an article
about this horrible British doctor who was gonna bring down everybody and I'm sitting across the table from him and halfway through I said, oh my God, you're the guy.
My mom now is completely on board because of how well my son's doing and she loves Andy to death.
So that's how I kinda got to meet this team.
It seemed like one of the things that Vax, I think, did was bring...
And we're making two more now in the next year for CHGTV.
Yep, I'm here.
How are you doing?
