Original Note:
Steve Kirsch’s claim that autism can occur overnight after receiving a vaccine is not supported by scientific evidence. Steve Kirsch is an entrepreneur who has been spreading misinformation about autism and vaccines. The vaccine-autism link is a myth. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/autism.html https://www.factcheck.org/2023/07/scicheck-false-claim-about-cause-of-autism-highlighted-on-pennsylvania-senate-panel/ https://time.com/5175704/andrew-wakefield-vaccine-autism/ https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-amish-covid-vaccines-cancer-diabetes-autism-356029928165 https://www.everydayhealth.com/autism/things-people-with-autism-and-caregivers-should-know-about-covid-19-vaccines/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/07/24/false-claim-no-amish-kids-have-autism-cancer-diabetes-fact-check/70444122007/ https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/critical-thinking/steve-kirsch-and-seduction-simplicity
