Get the Facebook Scientist mug.
A Facebook commenter with absolutely no degree in any natural science whatsoever, who feels they somehow know more than an actual scientist who has been researching a specific subject matter all of their life. Unlike real scientists, facts or logic don't seem to phase the facebook scientist. She or he would much rather believe that anything that real scientists have to say are just being payed for by "Big Pharma" or liberals who want to take over the world.
Despite no proven causal link whatsoever between vaccines and autism, Mary, a facebook scientist, feels confident enough that doctors who went to medical school and have been practicing and researching medicine for decades don't know what they're talking about, she's willing to risk people's lives around her by not vaccinating her son because she read a blog post online.

Jem has decided that he knows more than the entire community of climate scientists and has proudly claimed global warming is just a hoax. For your own good, don't try to argue with him on this. It's like playing chess with an ape.
