One thing I don't understand is the people who are heavily against vaccines because "oh me oh my vaccines can cause autism". I mean even if autism really was a possible side effect it still can't be the worst that could happen after all

@Saederup92
Are you or a child diagnosed with autism? I suppose going blind wouldn't be the worst thing either. Or losing a limb. Hopefully that's not the standard we have to use to weigh pro VS. con.

(I'm not positing a causal link, just responding to the "well, even if it's true, it could be worse, so the objection doesn't matter even if true" argument)

@Saederup92
Thanks, that helps with the context. I think the logic would go both ways. For example, getting chicken pox isn't the worst thing either. I'm a survivor.

@SecondJon I mean. If you'd rather be struck by that then who am I to judge tho

@Saederup92 It'll basically be a negative feedback cycle, immunisation decreases until diseases increase, then immunisation increases until it dies down. No idea what causes the negative feedback for the immunisation itself though... by all rights, as diseases increase, vaccination should increase BUT NEVER GO DOWN AGAIN
