    So let me see if I follow the anti-vaxxer dumbfuckery…

    1. Vaccines cause autism.
    2. Also, let’s target those with autism?

          A good deal of them are people who have autistic kids. They absolutely despise their kids because they fantasize about the non-autistic child they think they could have had “if their kid only didn’t get that vaccine that turned them autistic”.

          That’s the thought pattern. I fucking seen it in person and it’s fucking disgusting.

          BTW, these same fuckweeds also like to martyr themselves on the cross of all the things they have "sacrificed’ for their autistic kids. As if loving and supporting your kid no matter what isn’t something they should be doing anyway.

            Like over half of autism “advocacy” out there is just affirmation for the self-deluded parents of autistic kids who secretly think it’s their fault that their kid is autistic (Even though it’s not) and so need to externalize blame elsewhere. Autism advocacy is a minefield because of these people.

            My current prevailing hypothesis is that it’s that, combined with an underdeveloped empathy part of the brain, akin to aphantasia.

            These people are all about lying about how great they are when everyone knows they aren’t. It’s narcissism, or greed, or whatever you can assign to it.

            'Can’t be my fault he’s so r******d. Must be the vaccines. God damnit I knew I shoulda protected MY BABY BOOOY!! ’

            These people need to be victims, and I don’t mean that in the sense that bad things should happen to them. I mean that they personally feel the need to be victims, so they can use it as justification to lash out angrily.
