I got a call yesterday from a friend Ive been phasing out.

She’s married a guy 20 years older and had a child by him that has developmental issues, delayed speech etc.

She’s adamant it isn’t autism and convinced vaccines are the cause. Although he was already having those issues at 2-3 years of age before vaccines are commonly given.

She went on and on about how it affects developing kids minds etc and was basically suggesting she doesn’t want to vaccinate any of her 2 kids. Because they just give they just “put so much stuff in their blood”- chicken pox, mumphs, measles etc

It seemed clear she was indirectly blaming the kids issues on vaccinations etc. but she seems to never have considered the role old sperm likely played in this

Her husband was already in his mid 50s when the child was conceived.

Anyway, I surely wasn’t gonna bring it up and risk rudeness. But it seems a lot of women are not aware of the research out their on old sperm and genetic defect/ autism etc.

I’m not saying there’s direct and conclusive causation there but there’s no question that the rates of autism and genetic defect are several times higher and more common when the dad is old

It was hard for me to listen to. Especially knowing that anti vaxxers are responsible for a resurgence in school, of diseases and conditions that were formerly virtually dead, like measles. I wanted to scream- Youre the problem. First for marrying old scrote and now for being out here silly and dogmatic, endangering others by refusing to vaccinate- not realizing or unable to admit your child’s issue comes from dads old damaged sperm and NOT modern medicine
