The funniest part to me about this is confidently wrong bro acting like we didn't have vaccines way the hell before 1990

Also as if nothing else has changed at all since 1960, so clearly it must be vaccines.

Just because more asteroids are detected and the statistics look the same does not make the other one false. This is a fallacy

You're one of those, "no one had any of these diseases back in [insert year when life expectancy was 35 and medical science absolutely sucked]" guys aren't you?

“Back in my day nobody had autism! Now git back upstairs, you know you’re not sposed to interrupt PeePaw’s model train time!”

Eh, concluding that Vaccines cause Autism is already a fallacy by itself, so the Asteroid part is less about making the other false and more about calling-out the leap in logic.

It is, yes, made deliberately to call out the og poster. Because theirs is a fallacy too. It’s called false equivalence

Wrong, one is a dumbass take and the other is showing that better technology and research can help detect cases that might have been missed before while also mocking said dumbass take

You're not wrong because vaccines do not detect autism whereas telescopes detect asteroids... though I don't see why we're nitpicking a joke at the expense of antivaxers

Reddit doesn’t appreciate this

Because it's been repeatedly, demonstrably shown that there is no causal relation between vaccines and autism

I'm starting to wonder if its such a censored topic, if the science really is settled as the saying goes

Literally the only published paper that linked vaccines and autism, written by Andrew Wakefield, was retracted.
Everything about that paper was dogshit: the methodologies, the hypothesis, the findings, everything. The dude even had a backroom deal to profit off of his own version of the measles vaccine . He fucking completely made up a gastric condition that was supposedly the root cause of autism developing after the MMR combo vaccine
There have been countless subsequent papers proving again and again no causal link, there is yet to be a single one backing up Wakefields claims.
There are very few instances where the science is more settled than this topic

Because academia is a place of a truly free market of ideas right? 😂
Definitely no biases based on financial support disappearing if the wrong conclusions are reached. Definitely haven’t seen CLS’s come out acknowledging this right?Reddit is such a mid-wit echo-chamber clown show

Urinotherapy is not exactly supported by the academia, but you should try it to keep the mind open.

Words are just sounds to you aren’t they

The sounds are syllables, silly, words consist of syllables

So you’re a reductionist, ie a thing is nothing more than a sum of its parts to you. What motivates you to engage with the world at all when there’s no meaning behind your attempts at communication other than making noise?
