So… Is this satire, or is it for real? It’s getting harder and harder to tell…
Pretty sure it’s sarcasm based on the correct grammar, spelling and proper use of social context but like you said it’s impossible to tell for sure
Lets not pretend tons of well educated and otherwise privileged people aren’t anti-vaxxers.
Being educated and privileged doesn’t mean someone’s smart
Being perceived as “smart” is a privilege, and it’s just as irrelevant to being anti-vaxx as all the other privileges are (in fact, many of those who someone like you might not perceive as “smart” - disabled people, and specifically autistic people, are the open target of anti-vaxx propaganda that frames us as an undesirable thing to be, for, amongst other things, not being “smart”). So I’ll say it again - tons of well educated and otherwise privileged people are anti-vaxxers, and pretending otherwise isn’t just classist and ableist, it’s also just plain wrong and counterproductive.
The blog post you linked to seems to conflate intelligence with IQ and then use that to draw the conclusion that the whole concept of intelligence is a myth and ableist. That idea seems like, well, nonsense. I really don’t see how it’s ableist to acknowledge that everybody’s cognitive skills aren’t exactly the same
Progressive thought keeps running into fascists using things like IQ studies to argue for genocidal policies and tends to react by throwing the whole thing out the door because otherwise everyone needs to spend five hundred words just defining basic terminology for the discussion.
woah, amazing observation, I wonder how we can avoid the problem?
It’s AI
Autistic Bond is actually an amazing idea.
Wasn’t that the whole idea behind The Accountant?
Sounds like they didn’t

Account for it.
Wait, I thought that was Johnny English…
“If you expect me to die, Mr. Goldfinger, this is a rather inefficient contraption. Allow me to give you a few pointers.”
The link on that website doesn’t work for me.
For some reason the website isn’t using https. Your browser may warn about that, but since you aren’t doing anything important with it it’s okThe link on the website is dead, not the website itself. I get it now.
I think it’s not the link to the website, but the link on the new website to the research. It links to a PDF but shows “Not found”.
Ah, true, didn’t actually click on that
It’s the hyperlink in the middle of the website that’s dead not the website itself. Not related to not having a HTTPS cert

Autistic James Bond would probably be a physicist working for CERN.
Bond is, traditionally, racist and misogynist. Throw in autism and he’d be a 4chan regular
Autistic James Bond would have a martini with fifteen directions including, but not limited to the number of ice cubes in the shaker and the length of time to shake it. Autistic James Bond, you see, would know that stirring a martini is all wrong.
Bond had a feeling that this might be the CIA man. He knew he was right as they strolled off together towards the bar, after Bond had thrown a plaque of ten mille to the croupier and had given a mine to the huissier who drew back his chair.
‘My name’s Felix Leiter,’ said the American. ‘Glad to meet you.’
‘Mine’s Bond—James Bond.’
‘Oh yes,’ said his companion, ‘and now let’s see. What shall we have to celebrate?’
Bond insisted on ordering Leiter’s Haig-and-Haig ‘on the rocks’ and then he looked carefully at the barman.
‘A dry martini,’ he said. ‘One. In a deep champagne goblet.’
‘Oui, monsieur.’ ‘Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon’s, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it’s ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon-peel. Got it?’
‘Certainly, monsieur.’ The barman seemed pleased with the idea.
‘Gosh, that’s certainly a drink,’ said Leiter.

Gordon Freeman?
So, Gordon Freeman then.
Maybe offensive but James Bond freaking out and taking out a bunch of guards after an explosion.
A bout de souffle but for James Bond? I’m in
This would be a pretty ok joke if somebody wasn’t actually being serious about it. Context sucks.
Remember when antivaxxers were just the butt of the joke, insted of just a lot of people going: yeah that makes sense.
Drinking bleach and huffing ivermectin. These people just love weird parties.
This is satire, absolutely. Yet not inaccurate in terms of how “Christian” bigots actually think vaccines work. You can tell how illiterate and uneducated someone is by how few vaccines they’ve bothered to get for themselves or their children. And such worthless vermin SHOULD go and die, and leave the rest of us to be responsible adults as we are meant to be.
Too bad these folks will take out some vulnerable people along the way.
We somehow need to do way better about instilling a sense of duty to society in people.
That’s how I feel about it. When you get over being a spoiled teenager, you should develop a sense of maturity and responsibility. Part of being a real adult is having the social responsibility to get vaccinated to help protect and take care of others, not just yourself.
Shunning.
Antivax people get a flight to Wrangel.
I think one thing that isn’t quite talked about enough re: anti-vaxxers is how wildly ableist they are.
Edit: spelling
Jokes on you, my Shungite crystals will protect me from that evil!
This is just a Cumtown bit
Alas, Dr. Mullen’s impact factor has waned ever since that Sus halkias obesity germline escaped his research facility, necessitating the pivot to entomology. My electrons are in their Highest Occupied Molecular Orbitals.
If only villians were truly that stoopid!
Also, missed the chance to say “Your artistic now” (sic):-P
