I appreciate you so much. I shared your post on IG about this in my stories. I don't know how many people bothered to "Tap to Read." I need to put the work in and share all the slides because I know a lot of people won't put the work in. And even then, many will exit the second they read something that doesn't align with their tightly held beliefs. One friend laughed. My kneejerk response was to trade barbs, but in the end I opted to do nothing and block her. I had already unfollowed her due to her ungenerous attitude towards those in poverty. To laugh at a post calling BS on this "study" was just willful ignorance. I'm not going to argue with someone who is determined to be wrong. Especially when the magnitude of evidence showing vaccines don't cause Autism is so vast.

I'm a Special Ed teacher, so I've worked with students on the Autism Spectrum over the years. They're delightful, full of life, love, and capable of so much. That anyone would risk children's lives, risk them getting truly severe, life-altering disabilities to avoid a potential Autism diagnosis is utter madness.
