  • I’ve noticed some anti-vaxxers use supposed allergies to vaccines (if those exist) as an excuse to not get a vaccine. Maybe I’m being a little careless, but I’d rather these people have allergic reactions to a specific vaccine than not get it and be infected with a virus that vaccine is protecting you from.

    It’s much more infuriating if they refuse vaccines because to them they might cause autism or any other neurodivergences as if we haven’t been around since the beginning of humans.

    Given the rest of family is "critical“ of establishment medicine/science - I become the "problem“ the moment I even push back.

    It’s hard because they refuse to listen to what you’re saying. I think for the most part your family knows what they believe is wrong if I’m not mistaken, but they still don’t care that it is because they don’t want to vaccinate their children and just allow people to needlessly die from a virus. So for example, just today my Aunt repeated the “Tylenol causes autism” nonsense to an Autistic person (me) and I pushed back telling her she has no evidence to prove this. She then claimed my Autism came from a vaccine I had to get when I was six-months old, as if Autism again isn’t genetic.
