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.

    Let me guess, the child was at the age where observable signs and behaviors start to appear and it lined up with their vaccine schedule?

      That’s the correlation.

      For the parents, their world turned upside down, and Andrew Wakefield gave them someone/thing to (incorrectly) blame.

      A thousand deaths aren’t enough for Andrew Wakefield. (Paraphrase quote from Frank Herbert’a Dune.)

      Disclaimer: l’ll never illegally harm Andrew Wakefield. But if some authorized entity convicted him to execution and raffled off the right to throw the switch, I would buy one ticket for each person I’ve lost.
