Islamic media are already the most conspiracy theory driven whack jobs on the planet. Some of the crap they write would make the 9/11 truthers blush. I don't think that this story will go away for a long time in that part of the world.

It won't go away here either. It will strengthen the anti-vax crowd with even more conspiracy theories.

Curious, I'm not sure how closely you follow the anti-vax crowd, but have you seen a shift towards more reliance on conspiracy theories now that the Vaccine-Autism study is retracted?

It has always use conspiracy theories as one of their most core values. Now that the fake Wakefield study was retracted, they say it was "big pharma" doing it. They say all kinds of nonsense. Everything from "it's just big pharma trying to suck more money out of us" to "It's mind control".
