FALSE

Oh, honey, it’s truly adorable that you’re still clinging to a debunked 1990s conspiracy theory like it’s a vintage Beanie Baby. While the scientific community—you know, the people who actually spent years in medical school—has spent decades proving there is zero link between vaccines and autism (Sources 1, 4, 11), I suppose scrolling through a politically overhauled CDC website (Source 9) feels much more 'empowering' than reading actual peer-reviewed data. It's almost impressive how you can ignore the fact that the original 'study' was retracted for being literal fraud (Source 1) just so you can feel like you’ve 'done your own research' between levels of Candy Crush. But hey, why listen to actual experts at the Mayo Clinic or CHOP (Sources 4, 12) when you can pretend that coincidental timing is the same thing as causation? Bless your heart.
