      Conspiracy theories. Most conspiracy theorists don’t believe just one conspiracy theory but several. Antivax belief is based on a conspiracy theory in which a shadowy cabal is keeps forbidden knowledge from the public for its own benefit. So is Holocaust denial. There’s overlap.

      “Anti-vax” isn’t a conspiracy theory. Most ppl aren’t anti vax, they are pro transparency pro parents choice and pro bodily autonomy. Vaccine injury is also NOT a conspiracy, it is very real and should never be taken lightly. #medicalfreedom

      The problem isn't the asking questions, it is the refusal to accept the answers.

      The problem is when a perfectly healthy child gets a vaccine and within hours or days of the shot they fall ill the medical community refuses to consider the vaccine as the possible issue, in turn society denies the correlation too. It’s irresponsible medicine. #vaccineinjury

      Within "days?" I mean, when you consider that a good 5 or 10 percent of a young child's life happens within days of a vaccine, depending on how you define it, a rather lot of things unrelated to vaccines will happen within "days" of one just by coincidence.

      This is my favorite discussion and estimate of the number of cases of autism whose first symptoms are noticed within a day, a week, or a month of receiving a vaccination. https://thelogicofscience.com/2016/06/28/why-are-there-so-many-reports-of-autism-following-vaccination-a-mathematical-assessment/ …

      Basically, in the case that vaccines don't cause autism (which they don't), we'd STILL expect to see a lot of cases of autism diagnosed within days to a month of vaccination BY RANDOM CHANCE ALONE.

      Of course, humans are hard-wired to confuse correlation with causation, because there was a survival advantage to it. If you learn to associate the rustling of the grass with a predator, assuming that when you hear the grass rustle a predator might be near keeps you alive.

      The problem is, this leap to assume that because something happened before something else that something must have caused that something else can mislead very easily. Parents assume that because they noticed signs of autism within days of a vaccine the vaccine must have caused it

          And because humans are hardwired to assume causation from correlation, it is very, very, very hard to convince parents who've decided that vaccines caused their child's autism that it's not true, that vaccines didn't cause it. No science will override an emotion-laden experience.

          And the medical community is hardwired to deny vaccines cause injury when they do in some cases. single nucleotide polymorphism. There is science that shows certain sects of the population are predisposed to vaccine injury.

          My child doesn’t have autism. I never said vaccines cause autism. I said they cause injury.
