I responded to: "Because in examples such as public health, where things like autism are falsely attributed to vaccines solely due to the fact that out of millions of vaccinations, some of the kids will be autistic, vaccinated or not, it can literally cause actual damage to a society. See the measles outbreak currently happening in Texas."

I took you to be referring to parents thinking their kid got autism from a vaccination. That's an individual incorrect diagnosing of the problem influencing things negatively. These ideas aren't springing from a vacuum.

You just aren’t understanding me. If those parents understood that if all kids are vaccinated, some of those kids would have autism regardless of the vaccine, and that a certain number of kids in a population just have autism, then they’d be less likely to make an incorrect causation that the vaccine itself caused the autism.

And to further clarify, the public health damage doesn’t happen until some of those parents make posts on Instagram around this false attribution that go viral, and then cause other parents to not vaccinate their kids over a false attribution

TBH I don't even know why we're arguing because I didn't disagree with the original post. I was bouncing off your post to make another point.
