Original Note:
This claim is false. Dr. Gerberding did not say that vaccines cause autism; no expert in this field believes that they do. This clip is about a child who suffered from an encephalopathy caused by a preexisting mitochondrial enzyme deficit, not autism from a vaccine. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmp0802904
