I dont understand people claiming vaccines cause autism. Assuming vaccines caused autism, it clearly has a small chance since most people are vaccinated. If they didnt prevent diseases, why would so many people promote them? If they did prevent diseases, do the people claiming vaccines are bad prefer their child dying from a disease more than their child having autism?
Edit: added "Assuming vaccines caused autism," to reduce confusion
Wtf? They don't cause autism. There isn't a small chance. The fjck wrong with you
Really displaying that low reading comprehension, eh?
If most people are vaccinated and we look at the rates of autism, and even decided that the only way for autism to exist is through vaccines, then they are correct that the likelihood of being autistic for this reason would be insanely low. Far less than, say, dying of any of the otherwise preventable diseases.

And didn’t say anything about it? That’s also bad form, so maybe do that and explain what you changed.
