Facts are facts, Malaysia! Vaccines can't cause autism

While talking to a friend the other day, the discussion turned to immigration in Europe. He was against supporting refugees because he had read an article about a refugee family in Germany that had gained legal entry and promptly set about gaming the social welfare system. This family of immigrants was sitting in their apartment making more money than hard working Germans, he said the article he had read stated.

Now, I don’t know where he read this article. I never did find it. But even if there is an article about a family of refugees doing this, I suspect it’s an anomaly. And, indeed, when looking at statistics, most refugees do not receive greater income support from the countries they end up in than regular citizens of those countries.
