[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My cousin is a massive trumpie and has an autistic son. She is a fan of RFK. I’m very curious what she thinks of this. [/quote]

The RFK supporting moms I’m seeing online think they are genuinely going to get answers for the cause of autism.[/quote]

Not sure why they don't understand the genetic component for autism, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, etc. [/quote]

Because the links to genetics (including maternal and paternal age) among some of the other links make it look like the parents are at fault. No one wants to be at fault for having a child who the difficulties. The vaccine link makes it look like an outside cause that they could have avoided had they just “known”. They think they can prevent it for any future children or their neighbours.[/quote]

Thanks for your response. Makes sense as to what they're hoping, but doesn't explain the strong genetic link going back for generations in some families (including mine). [/quote]

But they’re not worried about the actual science or the actual cause, especially if they feel strongly about responsibility being aimed somewhere (again, in general no one likes responsibility to be aimed at them). Vaccines make sense because of Wakefield and how much media play it got, and how much play that story is getting AGAIN. It’s something outside that can be blamed, it makes sense to them and none of them have seen the havoc that the vaccine preventable infections can wreak because they’ve never seen one, and in many cases, nor have their friends, community, or family doctor. They believe that autism is the worst fate any child can have. It’s not an easy fate, and I get that, but I think that some of the story about how many of these measles invested children are going to have encephalitis and other sequale (often an immune system wipe out) is being lost. I’m deleting the little rant I have about that because that’s not what this thread is about.
