''Anti-vax people, I’m sorry, I think they’re fruitcakes,' he said. 'There’s plenty of evidence to show that vaccination helps. On the whole, they’ve been very safe. There’s always going to be some side effect in any drug you take, but to go around saying vaccines are a plot to kill you, I’m sorry, that goes in the fruitcake jar for me, '' he said.
