I really do wonder where people drew the conclusion that autism – a developmental disorder – is caused by vaccines.

“In 1998, a British doctor named Andrew Wakefield claimed he found a link between autism and the MMR vaccine. MMR stands for measles, mumps, and rubella. It was a tiny study, just 12 people.

Investigators later discovered Dr. Wakefield had fudged his data. The paper was retracted and Wakefield lost his medical license. Numerous studies since then have thoroughly debunked the idea that vaccines cause autism. But once the idea was out there in the public, it stuck.”

so it was all bc of this one idiot who faked his study and falsified his data and subsequently lost his medical license

Well color me shocked
