Vaccines don’t cause autism, but the lie won’t die. In fact, it’s getting worse.
Vaccine misinformation persists as measles cases are soaring.

So, the universe is like a video game but the lesson is morality. Long story short, i have met the antivaxers and i understand. They are dishonest people. I dated their daughter. They will not listen because they're arrogant. They will face horrors until they learn their lesson. The point is, this is a morality problem, not an education problem. Nothing will save them but their own misery you're honestly trying to prevent.
I'd say it is ,at least partly, an education problem.
Sure, education is less likely to correct a deeply engraned false belief, but education is one of the most effective tools to prevent the lies, misinformation, and manipulation from taking hold in the first place.
However, like most preventative measures, it will take a long time to see results.
OK, if you can educate them early, yeah. However, these folks were homeschooled. They were elitist and arrogant.
Widespread homeschooling is definitely problematic.
Yes, but i bet you don't know how bad homeschooling is. It's one of the few beliefs i share with the left that homeschooling is bad. It's so bad that when people defend homeschooling, they get the objections wrong. Homeschooling fails so socialize children, and homeschooling advocates say that means children have no friends. Nobody says that. It's so embarrassing. I dealt with homeschool kids and they're fragile and weak.
If i was on the left, i would cerebrate this like crazy. They are scared and they're running away and what's more their making their children weak.
Completely agree and I think so many more problems we have in society is an assumption of good faith in people who never deserved it.
They dont even care what the truth is. They're too far into the big-lie for that.
My friends family is a bunch of trumpers, she's apolitical and vaguely socially liberal.
At her graduation party, they hung up a HUGE Trump banner. It wasn't already up, they put it up before most people started showing up. Fucking insane.
Sounds insane. However, mother nature will correct their attitude problems. Just wait patiently.
So the same behavior as the folks of the rainbow flag then?
Shut the fuck up fascist.
That's a leap.
