Kat von D
The topic of vaccines has recently become quite heated. For a long time, there have been organizations claiming that vaccines cause autism because of an academic study that has since been thoroughly debunked and retracted by anyone with knowledge about the subject. Misinformation, however, is persistent.
For a while, it looked as if Kat Von D, the tattoo artist who gained fame from LA Ink, had fallen for this false information. This caused controversy when she made an Instagram post saying she wouldn’t vaccinate her child. However, she has since taken back what she said and explained that at the time, she was uninformed and didn’t know what she was talking about.
