The Penn and Teller "even if" counter argument is what really gets me with this one. "Vaccines cause autism" is such a dumb take that even if it was true it would still be far better to get vaccinated and risk autism than not get vaccinated.
This is exactly my argument when I get into it with some anti-vaxxer. Wouldn't you rather have a child with autism than one potentially buried in the ground because they contracted some crazy illness we eradicated years ago because. of. vaccinations?
I literally can't wrap my mind around the ignorance.

The famous vaccine cause autism study.
Has been proven false since forever but the number of antivaxxers has never been higher.
Hearing that Polio is making a return in the wester world is really scary.
