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.
It was started by Andrew Wakefield who was a UK doctor. He has lost his license for doing unapproved lumbar punctures on autistic kids.
Yes, he started it from the UK, but it really got traction in the US so far. And the Americans blew it out of the water by expanding criticism to a specific vaccine to criticism of all vaccines in general.
He pushed that all vaccines were a problem by the time he got here.
