Lew Rockwell uses minimal loaded words in their headlines and articles, but they typically source to far right or questionable sources such as Brietbart, Zerohedge and the #1 purveyor of pseudoscience Joseph Mercola. Some of the topics you will find on the website are those related to anti-vaccination propaganda, Mind Control, False Flags, and anti-immigration articles from other questionable sources. Further, the Lew Rockwell website has been placed on the Hatewatch list by the Southern Poverty Law Center. A factual search also reveals that Lew Rockwell has a very poor track record with fact checkers. For more information I recommend, RationalWiki who has done a fantastic job of putting all of it together. (7/19/2016) Updated (6/13/2018)

Given the generally leftward bias of Politifact this is hardly surprising. In this case I was looking for a copy of an article by Gary North and that is what the search engines came up with. I don't consider Lew Rockwell to be an authority on anything other than economics.
As for problems with vaccines it would seem that some problems with the MMR measles virus is showing up in the wild. No technology is perfect and this is equally true with vaccines. I speak as someone who makes good living fixing broken technology. Do this long enough and you learn not to trust gadgets as much as the general public, who are generally clueless about such matters, does.
