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.

    Most of the western world have free healthcare. But this is an America view so I understand.

    A friend of mine went to hospital like 5 times to check out his belly with various advanced machines and the final bill was equivalent to like 50 dollars. The taxi rides to the hospital cost him more than that. :)

    I think its amazing.

      I would say that compulsory voting would change things, but lol, it doesn’t. Fuckers vote for the right reasons, the wrong reasons, and just neutral reasons because they don’t give a fuck/care/have time to know. Fairly unrelated, I know.

      I guess the connection is how politicised basic science has become. The dummining is really ramping up.
