Original Note:
The claim that 25% of children in Australia are autistic is inaccurate. Around 1 in 25 children aged 7-14 have autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There is no credible evidence that vaccines cause autism and this misconception has been debunked by the scientific community. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4638072 https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/the-unique-factor-that-could-explain-why-autism-rates-in-australia-are-growing-faster-than-the-global-average-20231108-p5eig4.html https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/autism.html#:~:text=Vaccine%20ingredients%20do%20not%20cause%20autism.&text=Since%202003%2C%20there%20have%20been,vaccine%20and%20ASD%20in%20children.
