Apologies to all of you fighting the good battle of science, but the above quoted sentence is all that matters.

Oprah exists to sell products. To do so she needs viewers. Obviously her anti-vaxx crusade is accomplishing that mission.

It appears you missed the point of that sentence. The only reason Shirley Wu “spent more time listening to and watching [Oprah] than in the rest of [her] life combined” last Sunday was because she happened to be attending her brother’s commencement at which Oprah was delivering the address. Not because of Oprah’s misguided support for anti-vaxxers, which had nothing to do with her commencement address at Duke.
