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.

    At a job in Silicon Valley I had a boss who had an autistic child and my boss told me directly that when they vaccinated their child, the child’s behavior changed, and caused autism.

    I have other friends in SV who are huge vaccine skeptics.

    So, yes, even in deep blue areas there are anti-vax people. There are also Trump flag flying people in SV too.

      Let me guess, the child was at the age where observable signs and behaviors start to appear and it lined up with their vaccine schedule?
