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 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.

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 ok

The 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".

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.

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.
