Vaccines save your life. Therefore, without vaccines, there’s a good chance that you wouldn’t be alive long enough to be diagnosed with autism.

And as we all know correlation and causation are the same, that’s what my statistics class I slept through said.

I see no flaw with this logic. Clearly pluto, along with vaccines are the cause of autism.

And 98% of pluto is nitrogen ice. And 78% of earth’s atmosphere is what? NITROGEN

therefore nitrogen causes autism, too

I was going to make a joke about Dihydrogen Monoxide, but this one is better.

I wonder if there’s a similar joke with something from around the timeframe of when autism diagnosis criteria changed (70s-90s)

At least in the US, that time frame is known for removing lead from gasoline and the beginning of disallowing smoking inside restaurants etc. So clearly, those harmful airborne particulates were bolstering our immune system. Without them… believe it or not, more autism.

It could also be the steady decline in the pirate population, though that’s more closely associated with the cause of global warming:

I know some people may hate Penn Jillette, but I really liked his take on it from his and Teller’s show, BULLSHIT. Basically, they said, let’s say it does, vaccines cause all cases of autism. It doesn’t matter. The cases of autism are far, far outnumbered by the people saved by vaccines. So even if it were true, it’s still a better outcome than an iron lung or death. They absolutely don’t, but if they did, it wouldn’t change the fact that we’re better off vaccinating than not.

the whole thing hinges on autism being terrible anyways, they might as well be saying that vaccines make you black for how much sense it makes.

Who gives a shit if something magically makes you autistic? Shitloads of people go their entire life without anyone realizing they’re autistic.
