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.

Yeah, you're not exactly sounding rational there buddy.

You think we should mistrust doctors who advise you take a preventative treatment that every healthcare system on earth recommends and has since the treatment was created because in one country the people who pay for medicine sometimes don't want to pay for things the doctors recommend (and you're saying don't trust the doctors, mind you), even though the people who pay for it actually recommend it because they make more money if you don't get sick.

Even in a full conspiratorial mindset your nonsense is disjointed.

Antivaxers are fucking idiots because they don't have a coherent internal logic for their paranoid woo, they don't have the ability to understand any of the research that's happened, and they don't want to trust the people who do because those people clearly want to hurt them and give them... A developmental disability. For profit somehow.
