Good gravy. Don’t use data in that way. If you say 1 in 36 of all kids get autism with the vaccines and then use a sample size of 5 and say 1 in 5 die of not getting vaccines, you just make the data sound stupid. 1 in 5 out of the full number of unvaccinated children aren’t dying… I also doubt 1 in 36 out of all vaccinated children are getting autism from the vaccine, but it is posited in the statement as a fact so the logic of the next statement has to match. Suppose a family has one child who dies of an unexpected allergic reaction to the vaccine, and their family tells others that they really should still get vaccinated, is she saying that despite there being a 100% death rate for vaccines because 1 out of 1 children died? Is she stupid?.. Keep to the high road and keep the rhetoric out of it…
You’re right, it is bad data. But- if this scares some one who’s hesitant into keeping their kids safe, I’m not gonna apologize. She had five kids. Lost one because of a stupid fucking decision, and as this goes on, it’s only going to get worse.
I checked the rate of autism, not very authoritatively, mind, 1 in 36 are diagnosed. So if you have a better rate on that, I’d be happy to update.
As for if it’s the vaccine causing autism? The study they all sight used 12 kids that all had autism and all had the then-modern MMR vax. Pretty sure they all wore clothes. Also pretty sure they all ate pb&js.
I get what you were saying and in spirit I agree. Emotionally I want them to know how stupid they are. I definitely agree that getting people to take vaccines is worth any amount of effort. However, I feel like rhetoric with bad data representation gives fuel to the other side rather than scaring the people who need to be scared though.
