Wouldn't that involve them causing autism to prove it does?
"I'm autistic because I was a test subject for a government op..."
bruh...
Plot twist: they scale up the study nationwide, offering free flu vaccines to anyone who "volunteers" for the study as long as they take an autism test before and after.
Honestly, I think this is awesome.
All because of one debunked research paper fuck long ago. Damn did that do so much damage
Th3ry will continue to search until they find the answer they want
WaPo strikes again with a plausibly deniable disinformation title, using the word "skeptic" wrong on purpose. I expect nothing less from Bezos.
There's no such thing as a "vaccine skeptic".
Skeptic implies that they could have their opinion swayed if presented with evidence. The fact that they're still "skeptical" despite literal mountains of evidence shows that they only call themselves "skeptics" because it makes them sound reasonable, when in reality if they could have been swayed by reason they would have changed their minds a long time ago.
they try to downplay anti-vaxxers, thats what they really are, this include vaccine hesitency.
pro-worm but agaisnt vaccines.
Someone please create a AI video of a debate with Trump about vaccines, where he gets dunked.
If they don't play fair, we don't have to either.
Forget the serious debate videos—his supporters aren't watching those, and even if they did, they wouldn't care. You want to make a dent? You go after the ego.
Picture this: an endless stream of totally "realistic" phone-recorded AI videos of Trump playing golf. He lines up the putt—misses. Tries again—air ball. It's literally an inch away now—misses again. Doesn’t blink, just traps it in, smirks, walks off like he nailed it. Over and over.
The key is subtlety. These can’t look staged or flashy—make them feel like someone’s nephew filmed it from the cart. Make it look like he's genuinely terrible but thinks he’s crushing it.
Then blast them everywhere. Flood the algorithm. Turn his “I’m the best at golf” schtick into a punchline.
This is how you use AI to actually take Trump down—with a thousand tiny ego papercuts.
Autism isn't a fucking defect
I feel defective though.
Being branded atypical and living in a world built without you in mind probably affects that more than you sucking
They are less susceptible to propaganda, which authorities figures hate.
There was never a link to begin with. Never.

These people have co-opted the work "skeptic".
I grew up Orthodox and became skeptical of god's role in my life, now I'm agnostic.
My parents became "skeptical" of vaccines. Once they found their first antivax substack they are no longer "skeptical" but rather certain vaccines cause autism and covid vax causes heart attacks.
I find it hilarious (sad) they stop being skeptical once they find "proof" of their suspicions and then claim to be skeptics.
They of course have seen all the research supporting vaccines and deemed it insubmissable because it was funded by big pharma or the WHO (CHINA).
The only science they believe is the shit pushed by their "independent" researchers (crunchy influencers).
🤮
Don't worry, Republicans have been hard at work destroying our public education system so that people in the future won't be burdened with seeing and understanding their parents' hypocrisy for what it is.
If the word "skeptic" in the title actually meant that, this would be a good thing. It's good to be skeptic about everything until you're shown evidence. The problem here is that those folks aren't really skeptic.
Yeah, he's a liar, not a skeptic. He's denying evidence, not demanding it.
I hope this is a situation like the documentaries made to prove flat earth that do the opposite
"LET'S FIGURE OUT AND CURE AUTISM" they say as if a considerable amount of humanity's greatest inventions/discoveries aren't accredited to people across the spectrum.
Being skeptic is not bad. Not seek nor relay on scientific evidences is the problem...
I feel like using terms like "vaccine skeptic" for these morons is a major PR win for them. It makes it sound way more legitimate than it is. Fuck corporate media sanewashing everything going on politically right now.
Headline later...
90% of people with autism were vaccinated! Vaccines cause autism!
Actual data later
90% of the population is vaccinated. The rate of autism in the 90% and remaining unvaccinated 10% is exactly the same.
“You’ll never believe it, Mr Kennedy. According to our data, vaccines causes cancer”, he says, smiling. “Once we increased our vaccination rates, cancer became a major cause of death within 15 years. I suspect that far fewer people will die of cancer, if we simply roll our policies back
They really should review dihydrogen monoxide which is continually pushed by doctors but has a 100% mortality rate! DO YOUR RESEARCH!
