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.

      Nah, the roots of anti-vax was conservative conspiracy nuts from the moment they were a thing.

      It did spread to the granola types but it’s older than their existence.
