“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 review found that decades of vaccine research do not show they cause autism . Johns Hopkins states plainly that vaccines do not cause autism . The WHO's vaccine safety committee reviewed new evidence in December 2025 and reaffirmed no link . A peer-reviewed NIH-hosted article calls the connection a myth . The myth traces to Andrew Wakefield's 1998 paper on MMR, which was later found fraudulent . The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia notes the two studies cited by proponents are critically flawed . Autism Speaks and the Autism Science Foundation agree. Any apparent link reflects timing, since autism signs often emerge around the age when children receive scheduled vaccines . FactCheck.org reported that the CDC's revised website language on autism and vaccines is not evidence-based , and that a paper cited by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to justify a link was flawed . Lower immunization rates can also cause outbreaks of preventable disease . High-credibility sources agree, so this is a direct contradiction of the evidence, not an absence of it.
