So, my an online american friend said"My mom didn’t want to vaccine vax cuzs autism". Is he joking? I know many people say thing like that but i thought they all were joking?

In my country which is a third world country no one believe shit like that even my Grand mother who is illiterate and religious don’t believe thing like that and knows the benefit of vaccine.

    In my anecdotal experience chiropractors are often drawn to pseudoscience in the US. The last one my spouse went to was handing out anti-vacc pamphlets to the patients. I’d never seen such aggressively dumb ones before, just the usual scummy claims of being able to cure Crohn’s disease and such.

      Chiropractors are, by definition, peddlers of pseudoscience.

      D. D. Palmer founded chiropractic in the 1890s,[21] claiming that he had received it from “the other world”.[22] Palmer maintained that the tenets of chiropractic were passed along to him by a doctor who had died 50 years previously.[23
