Oh man - now into the weeds of the other anti-vax claims we go. Flu shots have helped people not to get the flu, but you don't have to take my word for it. The history of the study of autism extends mainly ot 1908, when the word was coined by Eugen Bleuler, who used it to describe a schizophrenic patient. Studies thereafter are unrelated to vaccines, and there have been no appropriate studies that have linked vaccine doses to autism. And consider that billions of people have had those doses, but only 1% of the people in the world have some recorded potential autism. (The number would be much higher than this if vaccines caused autism - and this is just using one type of logic argument, of the various arguments one can use.) Vaccine hesitancy is an understandable, natural development during COVID, but what is the hardest thing you (as in, all of us) will ever do? (change a habit)
