"Understanding is a three-edged sword. Your side, their side, and the truth."

My side is that vaccines do NOT cause autism.

Their side is that vaccines DO cause autism.

So the truth is that vaccines cause autism sometimes?

No, Autism isn't caused by vaccines but the risk of vaccines for everyone is not zero. It's just the amount of people affected are in the .00X% or .000X% range.

Yeah I know, I tried (and failed?) to be funny

No, you had it just fine. You'll find that an abnormally large amount of ND people hang out on Lemmy though. So many angry comments from people who used to reddit but they're just angrily agreeing with you the whole time. Like... K lol.

You succeeded. Your audience failed to have a sense of humor.

[–] cooopsspace@infosec.pub 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My side is that many great doctors are autistic, therefore autism causes vaccines.

Plot twist: Autism is causing vaccines /s

[–] haui_lemmy@lemmy.giftedmc.com 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Not even that far fetched. A lot of inventors are thought to have been autistic.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There's an xkcd about precisely that observation.

Just to be safe, I'm going to assume cancer causes mobile phones.

If you spend 10 years focused on cracking a tough riddle then you aren't like most people.

[–] Johanno@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

No the truth is scientifically proven that they don't(at least those that are certified in the EU)

Your side may overlap with the truth.

Or causality is an imperfect representation of reality.
