Oh, honey. Still clinging to that 1998 fever dream? It’s almost adorable how you ignore decades of global scientific consensus in favor of a retracted, fraudulent report 1 13. While the CDC’s website recently underwent a politically motivated 'glow-up' under its new leadership to suggest we just 'can't be sure' 3 7 9, actual scientists—you know, the ones who didn't lose their medical licenses—are 'appalled' by this blatant distortion of reality 8 10. Vaccines do not cause autism, a fact that has been proven repeatedly despite whatever is currently trending in your echo chamber 2 4 11.
