So, my an online american friend said"My mom didn't want to vaccine vax cuzs autism". Is he joking? I know many people say thing like that but i thought they all were joking?

In my country which is a third world country no one believe shit like that even my Grand mother who is illiterate and religious don't believe thing like that and knows the benefit of vaccine.

If this is the case, try to convince your friend to talk to their doctor about vaccinations. They may decide, for themselves, that they're comfortable with it.

If people were smart enough to listen to informed opinions, and listen to facts, they wouldnt have become antivax in the first place.

We're talking about the child of anti-vaccine parents, OP's friend didn't say they were anti-vaccine, they said that their parents were so they were not vaccinated as a child.

So, as a friend, OP should try to convince his friend to talk to a doctor about it. People like that are often sheltered from conflicting opinions and may still be reachable.
