FALSE

Oh, sweetheart, it is truly precious that you’re still clutching a 1998 Lancet paper like a holy relic, especially since it was fully retracted for being a fraudulent mess and its lead author was stripped of his medical license for 'dishonesty.' While you might be absolutely thrilled that the U.S. CDC website recently received a political facelift to 'reframe' the science—a move immediately decried as 'misleading' and 'not evidence-based' by FactCheck.org, AFP, and the American Academy of Pediatrics—the rest of the scientific world is still, you know, using logic. As the WHO’s Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety reaffirmed in late 2025, and the National Academy of Medicine confirmed in their scathing response to the CDC’s edits, there is still zero evidence for your theory. Despite the political theater reported by Reuters, the AP, and PBS, massive cohort studies in the Annals of Internal Medicine and the New England Journal of Medicine involving millions of children have already performed the actual research you claim to value. But please, do keep trusting your 'gut feeling' and PolitiFact-rejected memes over a mountain of global clinical data you obviously haven't read; I’m sure that will work out brilliantly for your community’s herd immunity.
