    Even if the vaccine caused autism (which it does not), that would still be better than polio.

      In mild cases of autism, perhaps. It can be severe and debilitating, to the point of requiring life-long 24/7 care.

      That said, conspiracy nuts buying that vaccines cause autism and failing to see the actual, real-life conspiracy which lead to the idea of vaccines causing autism would be absolutely fucking hilarious if it hadn’t been the direct cause of countless dead children. Read up on Andrew Wakefield if you don’t know what I’m talking about.
