I looked it up. The claim first came from a guy called Andrew Jeremy Wakefield, who made a fraudulent research paper claiming that in 1998. For some utterly ridiculous reason, the claim seems to have stuck. Thing is... that guy is British. I'm now ashamed to be a brit when there's people THAT stupid in our history.
..........Has humanity in Canada lost many people with diplomas and want to be scientists because of how bullshit this is? Like really....this is like saying ebola is good for you!
My research says the first person who ever said that was British, and the belief is so widespread it's stupid. I feel your pain though, being Autistic myself
Lots of people on the spectrum here, haha. Not that I'm mocking anyone, I'm no exception myself.
But yeah, this is the dumbest thing ever. There was ONE study that linked vaccines and autism, and everyone latched onto it even after it was proven to be a sham and the guy behind it was put behind bars.
On the flipside, a Quebecer saved lives while he was on vacation recently. But that probably won't be covered much by the worldwide media, sadly... http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/bromont-lifeguard-saves-4-from-drowning-in-indonesia-1.3161565

ReplyDeleteOh, and autism being caused by vaccines? Yeah, fuck you too, Canada people who said that. That's so offensive to me, considering I have Autism. ;v;
