So, my an online american friend said"My mom didn’t want to vaccine vax cuzs autism". Is he joking? I know many people say thing like that but i thought they all were joking?

In my country which is a third world country no one believe shit like that even my Grand mother who is illiterate and religious don’t believe thing like that and knows the benefit of vaccine.

    And if you ever happen to look at the shit hole that is truthsocial, it’s a breeding ground for this shit, in order to propagate scans and grifts.

      TBH I don’t know a single person that’s ever used Truth Social, or many that even know what it is. I think it’s more of a niche, not something affecting the masses.

        I thought a lot of Trump supporters used it. I had signed up with a throwaway account just to look around. Seems like a bunch of scammers.

          Yeah, but Facebook and Twitter still have the critical mass.

          Most of my family’s Trumpism is grassroots, either from their church or other real-world connections.
