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.
Yes and it sucks.
The problem is there is a kernel of truth in it.
I had a nephew get vaxxed 25-30 years ago and it was a bad batch. He got autism. Now disabled for life his mother sued the state and won.
She had the choice of a payout or disability care for life for him. She chose the care because he needs it after she’s gone.
Now cases like these are fuel for nutjobs to say vaccines today cause autism…
Get your shots people. Medicine saves life’s and saves your baby’s life. If your child dies due to you being an anti-vaxxer you should be charged for negligence.
Bad reactions to vaccines do exist, and can be severely disabling, but autism is not something that can be caused by vaccines. If your nephew is autistic, then this was not something that could be caused by a bad reaction to vaccines. It sounds like your nephew experienced a whole host of complicated issues relating to this vaccine though, and I can imagine how managing autism could be made more difficult through other disabling conditions.
