“Vaccines cause autism.”
HIGH CONFIDENCE
TL;DR ·Decades of research and major health bodies find no causal link between vaccines and autism.
The claim contradicts established scientific consensus. PolitiFact's August 2026 review found that decades of vaccine research doesn't show they cause autism . Johns Hopkins states plainly that vaccines do not cause autism . Reuters reports that the WHO vaccine safety committee reviewed new evidence in December 2025 and reaffirmed no link between vaccines and autism . A peer-reviewed NIH-hosted review calls the connection a myth . The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia notes that the two studies cited by those claiming an MMR-autism link are critically flawed . The origin of the claim, Andrew Wakefield's 1998 paper on MMR, is documented in public health materials . The AAP says multiple studies worldwide found no credible link . Autism Speaks and the Autism Science Foundation agree . Autism Speaks notes that autism diagnosis timing can coincide with the vaccine schedule, but coincidence is not causation . FactCheck.org found that the revised CDC webpage on autism and vaccines is not evidence-based , and that Kennedy cited a flawed paper to justify a link . Political statements do not change the evidence. The sources actively demonstrate the opposite of the claim, so it is false.
