Anti-vaxxer ordered to pay the €100K offered for proving measles exists

This is awesome - Anti-vaxer offers €100,000 to anyone who can prove Measles is real. Researcher sends article proving it. Man dismisses it. Researcher takes him to court. Court sides with researcher. Anti-vaxer now has to pay €100,000. Like I said... Awesome.

A German biologist who offered €100,000 (£71,350; $106,300) to anyone who could prove that measles is a virus has been ordered by a court to pay up. Stefan Lanka, who believes the illness is psychosomatic, made the pledge four years ago on his website. The reward was later claimed by German doctor David Barden, who gathered evidence from various medical studies. Mr Lanka dismissed the findings. But the court in the town of Ravensburg ruled that the proof was sufficient.
