I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I do believe there's a connection between autism and vaccinations. For example, I’m autistic and very interested in science and logic and also care about my health and longevity so I want to receive almost every vaccine out there.

"But Alice, you live in the USA and you are not planning travel, you don't need a yellow fever vaccine, the last yellow fever outbreak in the USA was in New Orleans in 1905"

"GIVE IT TO ME"

@benroyce @Alice Given the rate at which old diseases are coming back to live in the USA I'd have thought that anyone contemplating visiting the USA should have *all* the vaccinations.

@AlliFlowers @TimWardCam @Alice

there once was a time i would laugh at you for suggesting smallpox can make a come back

i am not laughing anymore

@benroyce I know a guy who is an anti-vaxer. After listening to him drone on about the horrors of vaccines the other day, I offered too sell him am iron lung. "I don't need it," he replied. "No, but your children and grandchildren might," I responded. He excited the building quickly at that point. @TimWardCam @Alice

@benroyce @AlliFlowers @TimWardCam @Alice Like Alice, I really don’t want to seem like a conspiracy theorist, but a small part of me can’t help but wonder if all of this pandering to the antivax crowd might have darker alterior motives? Like maybe the idea is to get rid of those who might be more prone to sickness in general? I hate even going here, but in this current climate, it really does feel like all bets are off and there really is no bottom.

@Thumper1964 @AlliFlowers @TimWardCam @Alice

The only problem with that theory is the ones most prone to suffer and die from not taking vaccines are the antivaxxers themselves

But it's a death cult anyway so that makes sense

The very young, very old, those with weakened immune systems, etc: yes they will die too. But MAGA doesn't care
