Talking about "concern for secondary effects like autism" legitimizes the theory, whether you wanted to or not; that's why the person you responded to got annoyed.

It does not. And downvoting for being annoyed seems like a low bar. But people are just fucking hard to have a conversation these days.
On second thoughts I should have said “concern for alleged secondary effects”.

I didn’t call you an anti-vaxxer and saying so is cheap trolling.
And yes - if kids have had serious impacts to vaccines parents should be told and providers should encourage reporting into vaers
I put autism there because it’s the most commonly used anecdote when discussing this. I’m not saying take the vax away. Eg if mmrv is the big bad vax for autism - change its schedule to be given after 2 yrs after autism tests.
