Let's have a look at the basest of lies in that post.
Remember that the main "Mode of Operation" for the anti-vaxxers is to tell lies -- of any sort -- to create uncertainty in people with young children.
It's fear mongering -- pure and simple.If they can scare/disturb the vulnerable - the vulnerable hesitate with vaccination -- then disease spreads, children die and the anti-vaxxers win
Lets look at the anti-vaxxer techniques in the last post
1) Firehosing predominates again.
This technique is to overwhelm the weak minded and easily confused.
When the anti-vaxxers use fire-hosing (aka gish gallop) they produce huge lists of unrelated links and/or pseudoscience claims, and proponents of anti-vaxxers get uncomfortable when forced to defend something that is clearly wrong in detail.
Their usual strategy is to shift to another point as soon as they lose one
Anti-vaxxers do this pathologically
2) Links to infomercials - most of the links that are posted in the article are to product / service providers
The first link is to Mercola

Mercola personal net worth : In excess of $USD 100 Million. (as at 2017)
3) Contradicting Lies
The anti-vaxxers don't care what lies they tell -- even when those lies contradict each other
They just aim to confuse the vulnerable.
The posted article contains links about the eradication of smallpox by hygiene.
Yet menta clearly believes that smallpox breakouts occur and have been hidden by the governments
Menta, your lies contradict each other
On one hand, you link to articles claiming smallpox has been eradicated
On the other hand you claim that small pox exists and is hidden by governments
You cannot believe that smallpox exists and that smallpox doesn't exist.
One of these is an intentional lie.
