In the new study, the authors surveyed 2,200 people and found 53% had some concern about the safety, efficacy or necessity of canine vaccines. Nearly 40% were concerned that vaccines could cause dogs to develop autism, a theory without any scientific merit.

It's terrifying how fast vaccine skepticism has spread through the population, and how uninterested liberals are in counteracting it in any meaningful concerted manner.

This is why a cultural revolution period and reducation camps are sometimes not just necessary but in the long run a good thing.

How the hell does that happen? The end of communism in Russia is basic-ass history I knew since I was, like, 10.

I imagine it’s because China is friendly with them, and the US is still enemies with Russia so they just latch onto the last reincarnation of Russia because it’s easier than analyzing what changed

Leaded gasoline, the standstill of Amerikkkan life, and being lied to 24/7 in different directions causes some real brainrot.

I don't think the average American knows what communism means other than associating it with something negative. Saying a country is communist just means it's bad.

Americans interpret political ideologies as personal moral characteristics rather than representing economic distribution systems. Capitalism just means innovative but greedy, socialist means altruistic, and communism just means scary bad things with red flags.

I think part of this is the lack of concrete understanding of what communism means to the average American. It just means "bad place that does bad things." You could probably get a plurality of Americans to say Mexico is communist too if you frame the question right.

Dogtism (dogs getting autism from vaccines) could become an actual conspiracy theory.

We're doomed yea

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Lol this is ridiculous. Everyone knows it's cats that are autistic, not dogs.

This just further justifies the need for some amount of censorship, people say dumb shit and it causes idiocy like this to happen

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

No shit, less than 3 hours ago at work, I heard a lady talking about not vaccinating her animals because it gives them cancer. I have previously heard the same woman talking about taking ivermectin. This story checks all the way out.
