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.

    If you are not American and have not interacted with the American health care system, it is almost impossible for you to believe how bad it is. I think this is a big part of what makes antivax believable to people here: The fact that it is absolutely undeniable that every part of the health care system they deal with day-to-day is shamelessly abusing them and their health for profit.

    It’s not true that the public health apparatus that comes up with vaccines is a part of that same psychopathic system, it’s actually a rare and exotic thing that still cares about humans and is working hard to help them, but how would they know that?
