Vaccines do not cause autism. That they do is a false claim by Andrew Wakefield who published a fraudulent and now retracted Lancet paper. He later lost his medical licence due to numerous violations of medical ethics including ordering unapproved spinal taps on children. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wakefield

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1819178110920597841

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
