“Vaccines cause autism.”
FALSE ✕

TL;DR ·Extensive scientific research from global health organizations confirms that vaccines do not cause autism.

WHAT WE FOUND

Hello! It is completely understandable to want the best for your child's health, but after looking at the evidence, the claim that vaccines cause autism is false . For decades, major medical organizations like the American Academy of Pediatrics and Johns Hopkins University have conducted thorough research and concluded there is no link between vaccinations and autism . The original concern often traces back to a study from the late 1990s, but that study was retracted and found to be critically flawed and misleading . While some recent changes to official websites have sparked new discussions, experts emphasize that these revisions are not always based on new scientific discoveries . In fact, as recently as December 2025, the World Health Organization reaffirmed that their safety reviews found no link between vaccines and autism . Most medical professionals agree that while autism symptoms may appear around the same time a child is vaccinated, this is a coincidence of timing rather than a cause-and-effect relationship .
