By skyforbes I was on Instagram and this video of a retired nurse came up talking about how her 2 year old grandson went from being a “perfectly healthy 2 year old to a severely autistic child at 10 years old” supposedly after getting the shots.
While I empathize with her and acknowledge her personal experiences on the subject. There is zero proof that this is true. Zero studies that lead to this conclusion. The study that initiated this whole conspiracy (published in “The Lancet” back in 1998) literally cost the author his medical license for publishing false/misconstrued data.
Is there something I’m missing here? Even after looking at the numbers it still proves that even when it comes to reporting supposed “induced autism” those have only occurred like 0.002% of all administered vaccines. Which again, doesn’t make it true that vaccines cause autism. It’s simply parents reporting their suspicions. That’s not evidence.
The whole claim that vaccines cause autism just genuinely pisses me off because I’m a scientist. I’ve never read any real studies of this being proven. And to have morons who disbelieve in them to then spread diseases by allowing their families to be unvaccinated and therefore infect other people is so fkn backwards to me. And all they can say on the matter is “well if you’re vaccinated then you shouldn’t get sick from me”. That’s not how it fkn works. Does no one understand that when a population gets sick, that same virus within the population can then mutate to something in which the vaccine can no longer protect against?
