Vaccines save your life. Therefore, without vaccines, there’s a good chance that you wouldn’t be alive long enough to be diagnosed with autism.

[–] JPAKx4@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 week ago

And as we all know correlation and causation are the same, that's what my statistics class I slept through said.

this is such insane propoganda I can't believe people still believe this. Obviously autism caused pluto

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 week ago

autism caused pluto to be demoted to dwarf planet, calling it a planet is inconsistent god damnit

[–] fxomt@lemm.ee 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

I see no flaw with this logic. Clearly pluto, along with vaccines are the cause of autism.

And 98% of pluto is nitrogen ice. And 78% of earth's atmosphere is what? NITROGEN

therefore nitrogen causes autism, too

It gets worse

The nitrogen even got into our DNA...

We need to cleanse and get back to all natural DA

[–] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wait aren’t all fertilisers full of nitrogen? Oh no! Our food supply is contaminated! We must send all animal poop to space as to not taint our beautiful earth with nitrogen.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wait... I have a taint. I'm also autistic.

DOES THIS RABBIT HOLE EVER END???

And oxigen makes us old, so we should stop breathing ASAP.

Remarkable! Everyone who followed your advice stopped aging almost immediately.

Vote this man into the white house! Non of that FAKE (heavily researched and scientific studys). I want what the man on the interwebs said! See its all just a bunch of nerds writing down shit! Like congrats you got a fancy piece of paper! So like what that means your qualified or something??? Just give me Anti aging!!!

I was going to make a joke about Dihydrogen Monoxide, but this one is better.

I wonder if there's a similar joke with something from around the timeframe of when autism diagnosis criteria changed (70s-90s)

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

At least in the US, that time frame is known for removing lead from gasoline and the beginning of disallowing smoking inside restaurants etc. So clearly, those harmful airborne particulates were bolstering our immune system. Without them... believe it or not, more autism.

It could also be the steady decline in the pirate population, though that's more closely associated with the cause of global warming:

Which mangaka wrote that graph's x axis?

[–] ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

no facts, what the fuck is with this graph.

[–] Krackalot@discuss.tchncs.de 37 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I know some people may hate Penn Jillette, but I really liked his take on it from his and Teller's show, BULLSHIT. Basically, they said, let's say it does, vaccines cause all cases of autism. It doesn't matter. The cases of autism are far, far outnumbered by the people saved by vaccines. So even if it were true, it's still a better outcome than an iron lung or death. They absolutely don't, but if they did, it wouldn't change the fact that we're better off vaccinating than not.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 week ago

the whole thing hinges on autism being terrible anyways, they might as well be saying that vaccines make you black for how much sense it makes.

Who gives a shit if something magically makes you autistic? Shitloads of people go their entire life without anyone realizing they're autistic.

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

Increasing the number of engineers through vaccination

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

By allowing children to survive long enough to be diagnosed with autism.

[–] crime@hexbear.net 19 points 1 week ago

On the other hand...

By attracting the 5G waves, obviously.

/s

[–] Majorllama@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's the nanobots inside the vaccines that attract the 5g waves. Get it right.

[–] Steamymoomilk@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Awgggggggg THE 5G Its cooking by brain like a toastinos pizza roll!

Mmmmm Piza rolls Dis very good mel for da stomac Ther 5G make very smol brain

My apologizes that was actually just a lack for understanding of how modern technology. Technically every radiowave is a microwave with very-ing wave lengths. Which have all been deemed safe because they are not tight wavelengths like an actual microwave. But are actually a fraction of a fraction of the output power, you have a higher chance of getting damage from UV from the wretched grass infested outdoors. Than a wifi router or cellphone tower.

[–] currycourier@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The whole idea that autism = bad isn't necessarily right or that simple anyways. I find that being on the spectrum is honestly an advantage for the type of work I do.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

it's a sidegrade, the only part of it that's bad is that modern societies are actively structured to disadvantage neurodivergent people.

Easy: They don't.

[–] HollowNaught@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

Wonderful site. Really opened my eyes

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's cuz I missed and administered the vaccine intracranially. Turns out it has some undesirable effects when it gets beneath the dura. Rookie mistake - my bad. Won't happen again.
