Two things I’ll say and then I’m going to keep my peace.
1: I’m autistic. It really pisses me off that people think that my situation is SO bad that a horrible gruesome death by polio or smallpox or even the flu is somehow worse.
2: My uncle—my mother’s brother—caught the flu, or something akin to it, when he was a child. And it was BAD. Bad enough that his brain was damaged and that he’s been mentally disabled for his entire life since then.
Getting vaccinated would have stopped that and allowed him to live a normal life.
So you’ll forgive me if I’m a little combative on the topic.
You’re forgiven, and I wouldn’t be on this thread if I weren’t familiar with autism. And just some friendly advice, you are up and running, thank God, in a way that will never happen to my loved ones. So click your heels and please stop telling well educated people what they know and don’t know in regards to this vicious condition.
