Vaccinations do not cause autism. This has been confirmed by extensive research involving millions of children across multiple countries and decades. Here is a summary of the evidence.

The Evidence Base

• Over 20 major studies have found no link between any vaccine and autism
• The original study claiming a link was fraudulent and retracted
• Autism rates are identical in vaccinated and unvaccinated populations
• Thimerosal removal from vaccines did not affect autism rates
• Countries with different vaccine schedules have similar autism prevalence

Why the Myth Persists

The timing of childhood vaccinations coincides with when autism signs become apparent. Social media amplifies misinformation. Some parents understandably seek explanations for their child s diagnosis. These factors keep the myth alive despite overwhelming scientific evidence.
