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.

    Yep. There was a solid base pre-Covid that could be built off of as COVID was shown to be as bad as it was.

    I also feel like a lot of vaccine rejection was built on having to justify that COVID wasn’t as bad as people were saying it was.

      I don’t know, I think the Covid vaccination disaster is mostly from media and politics trying to take advantage, to foment outrage and fake controversy for the clicks/votes. And too many people fall for it

      US pharmaceutical companies are straight up evil and we all know it. It’s no wonder why more and more people are skeptical about their products, e en when they are shown to be beneficial to everyone.
