Not to be trite but if vaccines caused autism we would know. It wouldn’t be a secret. They’ve been studied EXTENSIVELY. And they have been given to billions of people for many years. Even COVID vaccines!
I genuinely do not understand who is actually stupid enough to believe there is anything here?

Nothing will kill more children than the ongoing decimation of CDC, NIH, and USAID work to lift vaccine uptake in the US and world.
Child survival rose 75% in the last 50 years. Vaccines account for 40% of that. Measles vax alone was 60% of the benefit. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Teen doc here. These new NIH policies will cost lives.
Some key teen vaccines are against:
🦠 Meningitis
🦠 HPV (prevents cancer)
🦠 Tetanus, pertussis
Vaccine hesitancy is on the rise, and we need to know how to support teens & families in their decisions.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

If you are pro-life, I recommend calling Congress to voice concern.
Yesterday’s #NIH funding cuts are likely to halt research on:
- New cancer treatments for children
- Interventions to help premature babies survive
- Supports for children with autism
- Suicide prevention
- Etc.
