Kennedy managed to allay the concerns of several key GOP senators over his anti-vaccine activism. Mitch McConnell was the lone Republican to vote against him.
To people who never had measles due to successful vaccines against it and polio, and autism isn’t curable or fixable and remains with the human condition, their “logic” is:
I don’t recall anyone in my family or friends having measles
I only recall hearing autism being a thing these days
Signs of autism shows up when vaccines are due for health
Ergo, we don’t need the vaccine and it makes them have autism
Meanwhile I’m perfectly fine with having my autism even if it is a “side effect” of any vaccine, because I’d rather be into my hobbies and weird trivia than be stuck with polio.
I have multiple autistic people in my family. I have multiple autistic friends. My daughter has autism. That these people treat it like not only a fate worse than death, but a fate worse than a long-suffering death just makes me sick to my stomach.

Exactly! I’m autistic, and the fact that our now secretary of health believes autism is caused from vaccines is infuriating!
