The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Good overview here: yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com - Vaccines dont cause autism so what

Vaccines, including the MMR vaccine, do not cause autism. This has been thoroughly studied—over 25 epidemiological studies, including a fantastic 2019 analysis of more than 600,000 children in Denmark, have refuted any link. There’s also no biological plausibility: no vaccine component can alter neuron connections, and most brain changes associated with autism occur in utero, well before a child receives vaccines.

Yet, the CDC has been tasked with running yet another study on this question. This does a disservice to parents and clinicians who need answers about autism—not reviving falsehoods that keep pulling focus from the questions we need answered.

If vaccines don’t cause autism, what does? And are rates increasing? Let’s dig in.

Your precious MAGA tax dollars at work. Sure sounds like more fraud waste and abuse that should - rightly! - be cut.
