I dont understand people claiming vaccines cause autism. Assuming vaccines caused autism, it clearly has a small chance since most people are vaccinated. If they didnt prevent diseases, why would so many people promote them? If they did prevent diseases, do the people claiming vaccines are bad prefer their child dying from a disease more than their child having autism?
Edit: added “Assuming vaccines caused autism,” to reduce confusion
As you say, people would really rather watch their children and elderly family members die preventable, agonizing deaths than risk getting autism. Of course this also comes from their belief that these diseases aren’t that bad, and that they aren’t even common(because of the vaccines but they don’t understand that). They also think that all autism is the 100% low-functioning, non-verbal, violent kind which is just complete horseshit.

RFK has a thing about Thimerosal in vaccines because heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and mercury directly influence gene expression.
But most vaccines in the US and Europe have already had Thimerosal removed as a precautionary measure, even though there is no evidence that thiomersal in vaccines caused harm.
They obviously dont cause autism. But even if you ignore everything people who know things about the subject say, it still wouldnt make sense to claim that vaccines are bad
You are trying to phrase it in a why that even anti-vaxers might understand and put some logic into it. Mpatch is trying to say, why would you even bring autism into the discussion again because it shouldn’t even be near it.
We all agree, there is just a difference of hardline stance in what even needs to be discussed or how to go about a discussion.
Really displaying that low reading comprehension, eh?
If most people are vaccinated and we look at the rates of autism, and even decided that the only way for autism to exist is through vaccines, then they are correct that the likelihood of being autistic for this reason would be insanely low. Far less than, say, dying of any of the otherwise preventable diseases.

He says “assuming”, perhaps he could have further clarified for sake of argument. He’s saying even without debunking the claim, you can just wave your hand around and point the simple reality of relatively few people with autism despite majority of people vaccinated.
That’s not to say the claim is true, just that even if it were, it’s still stupid

In short: They’re fucking stupid.

Wtf? They don’t cause autism. There isn’t a small chance. The fjck wrong with you

I edited the comment after they replied
And didn’t say anything about it? That’s also bad form, so maybe do that and explain what you changed.
