So, my an online american friend said"My mom didn’t want to vaccine vax cuzs autism". Is he joking? I know many people say thing like that but i thought they all were joking?
In my country which is a third world country no one believe shit like that even my Grand mother who is illiterate and religious don’t believe thing like that and knows the benefit of vaccine.
In another post, the user who didn’t want vaccines said it’s that they did not want to put the comfort of others above their own.
I guess that’s a valid stance but it’s definitely not a view I share.
It’s not a valid stance. It actively undermines the effectiveness of vaccines when people choose not to get them. It’s a feedback loop that actively makes the world a worse place to be and increases the chance of premature death for thousands if not millions. It is selfish and they’re lying to themselves to feel better about it by saying such nonsense.
That stance is stupid as fuck. Getting a vaccine isn’t putting others first. It protects you and happens to have an extra benefit of protecting others as a treat.
