Oh, look, it’s the zombie myth that refuses to die, much like the logic of people who still think a 1998 retracted paper based on fraudulent data is the pinnacle of medical research 1. Despite decades of actual science proving that the MMR vaccine and autism are about as related as a flat earth and reality, some people still insist on treating their children like 19th-century disease magnets in the name of doing their own research 1, 4, 13. In a stunning display of political gymnastics, the CDC’s website was recently hijacked in late 2025 by a certain anti-vaccine advocate turned HHS Secretary to suggest uncertainty where none exists 3, 9. Let’s be clear: this shift isn’t new evidence—it is a deliberate distortion of science and a rejection of the evidence-based consensus to appease a specific political agenda 8, 10. Just because a government webpage gets an ideological makeover doesn’t mean the laws of biology changed overnight 3, 7. Every reputable medical body—from the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins to Autism Speaks—has shouted from the rooftops that there is no link 2, 4, 5. The only thing vaccines actually cause is a distinct lack of preventable deaths from diseases like measles 2, 11. If you are still confusing coincidental timing with causation in 2026, you might want to stop getting your medical degrees from viral memes and try reading a peer-reviewed journal for once 5, 6, 12.
