Vaccines don’t cause autism, but the lie won’t die. In fact, it’s getting worse.

Vaccine misinformation persists as measles cases are soaring.
You're viewing a single thread.
Can we convince people that Andrew Wakefield, Jenny McCarthy and RFK, Jr. cause autism?
(I don't believe there's anything actually wrong with being autistic, I have multiple autistic people in my family. I just think that would be amusing.)
Steps:
- be (usually born) rich
- have an agenda
- use your wealth to accomplish it
- lie, cheat, steal, do whatever you have to in order to "win"
Did I leave anything out? :-P
You forgot step 5: once you have won, change the rules so nobody else can play anymore
Damn, now I'll never be a billionaire! 😂
Eh, you're still on time. Wait (checks papers) no, sorry you aren't. They just changed the rules.
It's okay, I'll live.
Wait no, I just checked the rules, none of us will. Oh well.
Carpe diem baby! :-D
Carpe noctem
Okay (1) FUCK YEAH, but also (5) did you just change the rules there - are you a billionaire? Or just (d) viva la vida loca:-P.
I'm sure the moment I were to become a billionaire people would finally pull out the guillotines.
Nah. Except yeah, probably. People aren't great at handling subtleties - e.g. "tax the wealth" becomes "kill the billionaires", as if the taxation part wasn't the point, or the fact that actual trillionaires exist is somehow not relevant, etc. It's easier to shoehorn facts into what people already want to do:-P.
Carpe jugulum
I said carpe? Sorry i meant carpet
Being a Kennedy is more likely to cause lobotomies.
If the quacks don’t do it the worms will
Can we convince people that Andrew Wakefield, Jenny McCarthy and RFK, Jr. cause autism?
Not autism. They cause death.
For the idiots who avoid vaccinating their kids because "it causes autism," death is preferable. Consider that they would rather take that risk than be put in a situation of having to parent a neuroatypical child.
This is what always got to me the most. Even if vaccines caused autism, wouldn't that be preferable to your kid dying? Like, what the fuck is wrong with these people.
If their child isn't perfect (by their standard of perfect), it's worthless.
Narcissistic parenting.

there's probably a less tenuous correlation there, though. just saying. Granted, correlation is not causation, but, eh... yeah.
I know, but imagine all of these people in this ludicrous panic suddenly thinking Wakefield is the culprit for autism...
