People who believe vaccines cause autism, what's a theorized mechanism you've heard for this? Assume for the sake of argument it were true: why? Also, why isn't it much more likely explained as a secondary effect (e.g., parents who refuse vaccines being more likely to emphasize social skills in their children as opposed to parents who want vaccines being more like to emphasize propa--academics)? What do you find wrong with the current research on vaccines?
As a side note, why are the elites O.K. with vaccines for physical viruses, but not mental ones? Case in point, I could not search for an answer to my question here. Every search engine brings up millions of "Vaccines don't cause autism" results. That wasn't what I was searching for. I would argue that the fact that I can't even look up basic counterarguments makes me more susceptible to bad ideas, not less. If I debated a hardcore anti-vaccine person, I would not be able to intellectually defend myself because of how I can't find _any_ information about their position on a search engine. Even if you believe in the whole 'misinformation' canard, how can this make sense?
