Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Headline later...

90% of people with autism were vaccinated! Vaccines cause autism!

Actual data later

90% of the population is vaccinated. The rate of autism in the 90% and remaining unvaccinated 10% is exactly the same.

Being skeptic is not bad. Not seek nor relay on scientific evidences is the problem...

Mark Geier

Is that the patient 0 of that autism claim? The one that was discredited decades ago (both the person and the claim)?

The biggest problem with him was, he just couldn't admit he had been wrong and continued to spout the bullshit, thus discovering a moderately profitable grift. And now his son is continuing it.

I hope this is a situation like the documentaries made to prove flat earth that do the opposite
