Aw come on, that’s unfair to squirrels!

I did not know that politicians had a brain.

Aw, that's nice, giving the orange frump a whole 3.4%

Knew we couldn't get through this one without a trump reference.

I will for you

just upvoted 4 u!

It’s at number 3 now

upvotes for you!

This👆 You can report it, but did doesn’t mean the police will actively do anything to find your loved one.

You just named them, idiots. We can't expect much lol

Well, for starters they were taking medical advice from someone who's greatest professional achievement was being a Playboy Bunny, so logic and research weren't real high in their docket

Blarrg stated it very well, but I'd like to add that it's also because autism really isn't/can't be diagnosed until at least age 2-3. If severe, some global delays might be noticed before then, but I used to work in early intervention and have heard/seen many cases where the child was progressing through milestones normally and then somewhere around year 2 would just regress, especially with verbal and other communication skills. This is the same age where they're receiving vaccines. It's hard as a parent to see something happening WITH your child and not to try to figure out what happened TO your child.

We actually don't know this. There are different theories including the genetic one, but also one involving gut microbiome damage (which is possibly why a lot of autistic people have digestive issues too)

Some people are in denial and are looking for a scapegoat. The rest are morons

he have no clue what causes autism, not sure if born with or other factors of a combination of. However we have conclusive data from the 10 years Japan stopped giving Vaccines because of the discredited study and found Autism rates remained unchanged, in countries where vaccines are not mandatory autism rates are the same for both vax and un-vax, etc. And the study claiming it was discredited as falsified data. But we actually still have no clue what causes autism, they think it is born with, but scientists are still researching it, and if one is born with it, is it genetic or enviromental factors, etc

Sometimes, pople just get the c**p drummed into them as kids and it takes a lot of effort to break away from such. Was once talking to an autistic guy on reddit (s/n I am also autistic) who was diagnosed around the time that the bs started spreading. So his parents started blaming that as being able to put the blame on something can be a comfort, however incorrect it is. Guy basically internalised it all and didn't know better. It's not a situation that can be worked through in the couple of hours we talked though of course, he really needed to talk to a therapist specialising in autism, but it was a start.

Partly true (that it's something you're born with. "Research suggests that autism develops from a combination of genetic and nongenetic, or environmental, influences." https://www.autismspeaks.org/what-causes-autism That said, there is no credible evidence linking it to vaccines.

Correlation is not causation. The fatal flaw of the autism/vaccine ppl

And thank you, Robert Kennedy Jr. Just being from a famous family does not endow you with any special knowledge. In fact, being part of a legacy by birth gives you a special responsibility.

They don’t want to believe that they have the genes maybe? I honestly don’t know why people work so hard to believe this.

And shame of the ones who tells people to not vaccinate their children and make it out as the worst thing that can happen to your child is autism.

Cause smarts aren't something your born with

Because stupidity is also something some people are born with.

The answer lays in the question lol

That's one way you can get autism. Autism can happen also while you're being born and in early infant-age when your brain doesn't develop normally

Well they are idiots.

Yes, how they don't get this is part of the point of the entire list.

Because idiots.

Is he having gastrointestinal issues? Is that why they want to do the feces transplant?

You mean Mickey’s lawyers did. That’s what lawyers do. Unfortunately, people hear something and then parrot it forever without bothering to check the veracity of what they’re parroting. This is how a Playboy bunny managed to convince every dope in the US that vaccinations cause autism.

The craziest part to me is that everyone is like it’s crazy how much money she got! The judge literally granted her a single day in coffee sales. That’s it, and coffee at the time was $1. Mind blowing that they granted her literally the least amount they could and then corporate lawyers vilified her for years to come. There were multiple suits that didn’t move forward from other people having the same issues. McDonald’s did not care to lower the temp under 200 degrees Fahrenheit

It was America. Her insurance wouldn't pay for her hospital bills if she didn't sue.

Don't blame Ronald McDonald!

Her parts turned black 😭

It was like a game of telephone before the net. It bugs me how crazy things can get: because of stories morphing as they’re told, we have one about a virgin who got knocked up by god and when he died, he came back to life. 🙄 In thinking about it, though, it’s remarkable how so much is STILL a game of telephone in spite of the widely-available evidence!

It's a smell percentage that abuse the welfare system...the rich are just trying to get everyone to avoid looking at all the tax evasion, fraud, insider trading, etc. they are committing.

And for the billions that the C-suite end up with.

Effort and reward have nothing to do with each other any more - that's a capitalist myth equating wealth with morality. I've spent my adult life trying to figure out how to work as little as possible. Millions of people work a lot harder than me and make a lot less. On the other hand, there are millions of f*****g idiots in executive chairs that work less and make a ton more, but love to preach about "how hard they work."
