Can we convince people that Andrew Wakefield, Jenny McCarthy and RFK, Jr. cause autism?

(I don't believe there's anything actually wrong with being autistic, I have multiple autistic people in my family. I just think that would be amusing.)

    Steps:

    1. be (usually born) rich
    2. have an agenda
    3. use your wealth to accomplish it
    4. lie, cheat, steal, do whatever you have to in order to "win"

    Did I leave anything out? :-P

    You forgot step 5: once you have won, change the rules so nobody else can play anymore

    Eh, you're still on time. Wait (checks papers) no, sorry you aren't. They just changed the rules.

    It's okay, I'll live.

    Wait no, I just checked the rules, none of us will. Oh well.

    Carpe diem baby! :-D

    Okay (1) FUCK YEAH, but also (5) did you just change the rules there - are you a billionaire? Or just (d) viva la vida loca:-P.

    I'm sure the moment I were to become a billionaire people would finally pull out the guillotines.

    Nah. Except yeah, probably. People aren't great at handling subtleties - e.g. "tax the wealth" becomes "kill the billionaires", as if the taxation part wasn't the point, or the fact that actual trillionaires exist is somehow not relevant, etc. It's easier to shoehorn facts into what people already want to do:-P.

    Not autism. They cause death.

    For the idiots who avoid vaccinating their kids because "it causes autism," death is preferable. Consider that they would rather take that risk than be put in a situation of having to parent a neuroatypical child.

    (I don’t believe there’s anything actually wrong with being autistic, I have multiple autistic people in my family. I just think that would be amusing.)

    there's probably a less tenuous correlation there, though. just saying. Granted, correlation is not causation, but, eh... yeah.
