Surprise surprise, her doctorate is in psychology. She works with special ed kids and I'm guessing she's either decided or parents are self-reporting that they're "vaccine injured." ๐ What an asshole.
"My little Johnny was a perfect student until the medical establishment gave him a learning disability!"
This seems to overlap psychologically with the "my child can do no wrong" crowd, the ones who blame teachers, coaches, librarians, video games, sugar, red dye, gluten, participation trophies, or pretty much anyone or anything except themselves for their child's problems. The common thread is a profound lack of self-awareness.
On the anti-vaccination issue, there's also a hefty dose of misinformation from people who are making money from selling the idea to gullible people, but there's definitely a certain psychological profile who falls for it most often.
I feel like a lot of these parents are also doing the insidious thing of trying to justify that it isn't "their genes" that are responsible. Like having Autism or something in your family is a dirty secret and "taints" their "family line".
My aunt (worst human I've ever met) thinks the red dye thing is true too... Where do these people get their shit from!?
