As you say, people would really rather watch their children and elderly family members die preventable, agonizing deaths than risk getting autism. Of course this also comes from their belief that these diseases aren’t that bad, and that they aren’t even common(because of the vaccines but they don’t understand that). They also think that all autism is the 100% low-functioning, non-verbal, violent kind which is just complete horseshit.

In short: They’re fucking stupid.
