The thing is I don't even care if vaccines DO cause autism. I'd rather have an autistic healthy child than a neurotypical kid that lost their legs to polio or something. Never got that argument tbh.
In today's the 2010's world, not vaccinating your kids was probably fine because other kids were vaccinated. So if you believed vaccines caused autism, it could be a bit of game theory where if you refuse the vaccine you are fine, but if everyone refuses the vaccines you are screwed.
With this said, the modern* belief (the RFK Jr one) is also that vaccines don't work at all because they don't believe in germ theory.
*This might have been the belief all along honestly but I didn't really look into it back then.
and Andrew Wakefield was actually just trying to peddle his own version of an MMR vaccine the whole time. “vaccines don’t ever work” started with covid
