Don’t waste your time trying to reason with these folks, they are emotional not logical.
Autism is a tough disease to deal with, and it tramatic for a family to deal with what appears to be a normally developing child to suddenly introvert... of course they want to blame something for it. So they blame vaccines.
You can’t sway them with facts, its emotional and personal. Its far easier to blame some grand conspiracy of the government and or the medical community than to accept that their child sadly has a mental developmental disorder.
I am not beyond believing their may be an environmental influencer with autism, but there is little doubt it has a very major genetic component. Vaccine’s are not that environmental influencer however.
“Don’t waste your time trying to reason with these folks, they are emotional not logical.”
It’s not a waste of time. I am not trying to convince them.
My responses are for others who happen upon this thread thinking it’s OK to not vaccinate their kids. If this nonsense goes unresponded to, they may be given the false impression that they are somehow enlightened like the folks writing this nonsense.
The people on this thread advocating not vaccinating their kids against preventable diseases are killers. THey must not be allowed to spread death by ignorance without a response.
Based on what evidence...aren’t you being just as emotional in your description of people?
Someone wanted a study. Below is one I find fascinating:
