Original Note:
Vaccines don’t cause autism. In 1998 Wakefield made this fraudulent claim & it has been refuted repeatedly in the scientific literature. Misinformation causes harm & contributes to vaccine hesitancy & refusal. Covid & posts like this, lead to mistrust in public health. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(99)01239-8/abstract https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/193604 https://www.ssph-journal.org/articles/10.3389/phrs.2024.1606756/full https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3136032/ https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/21645515.2024.2311476
