Honestly, the fact that antivaxxers both keep spreading this easily- and repeatedly-disproven hoax and, by association, the belief that autistic kids would be better off dead, is enough reason for me to wish we'd give them a choice between "the jab" and a nice dose of potassium chloride.The idea that any vaccine can cause autism was invented by two former doctors, one was trying to set up a way to sell different vaccines from the ones he said caused autism and the other who claimed that he could cure autism with medicine made from his own bone marrow. The first doctor lost his medical license for, among other things, depraved indifference to the pain he was causing to children while trying to fake up some evidence for his get rich scheme, the other lost his license for stealing way too many narcotics for personal use.
The idea was created by a conman and a crazy junkie and idiots just eat it up to explain away why they have autistic children.
