I refuse to believe one way or another on that stuff when I don't know. Plus the same corporate entities in making the vaccines, or the corporate governments, regulating them on behalf of the vaccine companies to prevent competition, are the ones financing what studies are done on them and the news media about them. Soooo there's a lot of room to lie.

I don't refuse to believe when I see the evidence of normally developing children who suddenly stop developing after either the 18 mo vaccine panel or the 3 year panel. Many many reports of this, which I saw firsthand.

But it is right to demand investigations and accountability and for parents to think very carefully before they vax their kids.

Yup. And the fact that they push you to be pro vaccine without any nuanced debate is indication that they are not to be taken seriously anyway.

Because of my principles and my reason, I'm a bit harder to control than most people. I just don't accept illogical bullshit.

the thing the vax makers didn't count on was that most people actually care about their children, and the idea that pharma hates to release safety data and gets indemnification pisses off a lot of people.

Yeah, evil people tend to underestimate the strength of love, because they are so devoid of it themselves.

man, that's the truth.

I understand your struggle a lot more than you may think.

how so?

Half of your first sentence.

Got it. It's a tough road for most. Not terrible for us. We have to be able to have real conversations about this without the offense lobby losing its collective mind in exchange for hits on social media.

My son sent me one clip of some high functioning woman acting outraged that she was being marginalized. I had to explain to him how he is in the minority of people with autism and a conversation about how to help the rest is totally valid. He of course didn't realize that 50-70% of people on the spectrum are at the low end.

Does he also have the gift of being highly intelligent in a particular category? That's the mind blowing, "WTF, how in the hell did they do that?" moments.

It can be quick and brief but gives you that glimpse of hope that they will be independent enough to one day live on their own. As a father this is what you want for your child.

Some understand.

He has perfect pitch and a deep knowledge of music (plays it and listens to it).

I was listening to some Billy Idol music last night when I came across his obscure 1990 Cyberpunk album. It was the kind of thing my son might like, so I texted him the link. From the other room he texted back that it was already in his music library and was underrated. He then asked me what the background of it was, so I explained it.

Among other things, Idol has read Neuromancer and Snow Crash while recovering from a broken leg then thought a lot about a cybertech future.

My son got excited because he just checked out Snow Crash from the library and is waiting for Neuromancer. What that shows me is that he makes connections on areas of interest and puts the pieces together himself.

Badass!

turns out, yes it is.

What boggles the mind is the shrug of the shoulders from those managing public health when they are presented with the huge increase in the autistic numbers... then after parroting "correlation does not prove causality" they show no curiosity to discover what is causing it.

no curiosity is right, but they are also leaning on the bought and paid for pharma studies when they say correlation doesn't mean causation. Look, they say, the studies show no connection, without thinking critically about the studies.

Yes, which is also why the public health response to covid was a disaster... same pharma leaning involved.

fortunately I think the average person is figuring it out, at least here in the US.

I wish I shared your optimism. I frequent a blue city that still has a significant number of people that still wear masks. I want to think people would respond more defiantly if the state attempted this again. I think at some point we will see.

I live in rural Texas outside of Dallas where at least half the people were done by June 2020.

I'm happy for you and your family... Sounds like an oasis in a country full of weak and easily controlled NPCs. I hope for everyone's sake that Texas remains a red state. Enjoy the weekend!!

Texas has been getting redder, which is fun. 👋

Excellent... I keep hearing it's turning purple from all the Californians that have soiled their bed and moved their politics there. I'm hopeful the country has reached peak woke and is ready for healing.
