An anonymous reader quotes the Guardian:
Amazon appears to be helping fund anti-vaccine not-for-profit organizations through its charity arm, the AmazonSmile Foundation. The AmazonSmile fundraising program — through which Amazon donates 0.5% of the purchase price of a shopper’s Amazon transactions to an organization of their choice — is promoted on the websites of four prominent anti-vaccine organizations… Numerous other anti-vaccine organizations are also listed by Amazon as eligible for the donations.
