This is like saying “The phrase ‘vaccines don’t cause plane crashes’ isn’t supported by science.”

Vaccines DO NOT cause autism - there is extensive research showing this. Resurrecting old, discredited, fraudulent work is shameful.
Vaccine-preventable illnesses are serious - this is going to cause real harms.
This is dangerous & disappointing.
