To quote Hbomberguy:
“The anti vaccine movement had next to no evidence [27] years ago, and they have even less today”
I’m starting to think that a good portion of the antivaxx people are just afraid of needles.
A lot of them been so indoctrinated into mistrusting authorities and instutions, that they basically disbelieve anything they say on principle.
And al the evidence, all the scientists telling them they’re wrong just ends up reinforcing their belief in some giant conspiracy.
It’s sadly been shown in more than one study that changing the mind of conspiracy theorists with reason, argumens or evidence is basically impossible. It’s almost a self preservation instict against cognitive dissonance. They were so sure they were right, and now so one is telling them they’re not. That feels shit, and it feels shit to accept you were wrong about something you so fervently insisted was true. So their brains basically go into self defense mode, and just reject and attack anything that threatens the shaky fundamentals of their entire belief system. The best thing you can attmept to do is to distract them. Get them to talk and think about other things. When they mention the conspiracy, don’t engage, don’t argue how they’re wrong, they’ll just dig their heels in deeper, just change the topic to something else. Force them to spend less time in their delusions. Eventually, if you’re lucky, they might gain enough distance to the topic, and stop caring about it enough that they’re ready to start accepting how batshit insane those conspiracies are.
Also, for many of these people, do not underestimate the underlying religous issue. In the case of vaccines, its becomes some sort of “mark of the beast” nonsense. See also the dumb “microchips in the vaccines” stupidity.
Former anti-vaxxer here, I personally did. I looked for any excuse to avoid that goddamn needle. Long story short: I have pain hypersensitivity, so it hurts a lot more, not to mention I met a lot of doctors who did it in a really clumsy way in my life.
I’m getting a little worried they’re not even doing their own research, at all!
First, that is not your child. It is a fucking elephant.
Second, I don’t care if the elephant says it has a high tolerance. You don’t shoot up anything with this much smack.
Third, labeling this poor junkie elephant as an aspie is just cruel and unusual.
First, that is not your child. It is a fucking elephant.
Finally someone addresses the elephant in the room!
i dont know how but it just FEELS like AI generated
Piss filter.
Someday artists are going to struggle to replicate this “look” in order to make memes and jokes.
On the sides of our cave walls.

Actually no. Pollution has been identified as a potential cause. Why don’t you do something about that?
If the problem falls under the purview of one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, the facists in charge are for it. If it doesn’t, the fascist are keeping it that way on purpose.
I am.pretty sure the only “cause” is that society has become more open and accepting in general so people who have these various “new issues” that idiots like to boogeyman over are just, not supressing themselves as much or you know, suiciding over society treating them like shit as much.
If vaccines were given in Pop-Tart form there wouldn’t be an antivax movement.
Go on…
Just deep fry them and hand them out at a fair. American’s will kill each other for some
You know it’s a good comic when they have to explain it with the I have autism pin.
Everything about the picture passes the sniff test, except the vibe. I think it’s slop.
y’know, except for the whole piss filter and non-existent typeface
Oh it’s slop alright, no AI needed
May be autism is caused by scientific medecine, and we would better trust scammers instead?
I just want to know how to ensure I can get the good at math autism so I can get finance bro paychecks.
So you should get vaccinated and take some parcetamol while sick (but not too much)… and maybe, if there is an other life, who knows, you may be autistic in next life!
If you want high wages in this life, the easiest is to be born in a rich family, and that would make you happy. Else, you may still try to become a philosopher ; it won’t make you rich, but it could be good for your mind…
If your elephant needs pain relief, make sure to administer Tylenol orally.
Now I want a big button pin that says “I have alcoholism”
