Original Note:
RFK Jr. claimed the hepatitis B vaccine increases autism risk by 10,000% if given within 30 days of birth. This misrepresents a 2010 study showing a 200% increase. The study's methods were criticized & findings not replicated. Experts agree vaccines don’t cause autism. https://www.factcheck.org/2023/08/scicheck-what-rfk-jr-gets-wrong-about-autism https://publichealth.stonybrookmedicine.edu/phpubfiles/Hep_B_and_autism.pdf https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2908388
