No, they didn't.

"A meta-analysis looked at data from over 1.2 million children and found no connection [to autism.]"

Did they finally prove that vaccines cause autism?
A new report revives the myth that vaccines cause autism, but decades of large studies show no link. Learn why genetics, not immunizations, drive autism risk.

Does aluminum cause autism?
A massive Danish study finds no link between aluminum in vaccines and autism, reinforcing evidence that autism begins before birth, not from shots.

Vaccines don't cause autism. Here's one unconventional way people try to say they do, and why it's wrong.

Did a whistleblower admit vaccines cause autism?
A retracted study used in Vaxxed falsely claimed vaccines cause autism. Experts explain why the data was misused and why the science doesn’t support it.

"Research shows autism is mostly caused by genes and usually begins before birth, while the baby’s brain is still developing. The brain differences linked to autism are present early on, not caused suddenly by vaccines."

Did the government just admit vaccines cause autism?
Despite new claims from RFK Jr. and Trump, vaccines do not cause autism. We unpack the history and the science showing no link, just political noise and old debunked theories.

"Aluminum is sometimes added to vaccines as an adjuvant, to help the body’s immune system respond better. This means children need fewer doses to get full protection."

www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/i...
Is aluminum in vaccines safe?
A closer look at the science behind aluminum in vaccines shows it’s safe, well-studied, and used in tiny amounts that don’t pose health risks to children.

The small amount of aluminum used in vaccines is safe.

"One study published in Vaccine found that the amount in vaccines is much smaller than what people take in every day from food and the environment."

www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/d...
Does aluminum in vaccines harm kids?
Aluminum in vaccines doesn’t build up or harm kids. Studies show it’s safe, quickly leaves the body, and doesn’t cause chronic health problems.

Are combination vaccines good for kids?
Combination vaccines safely protect kids from multiple diseases with fewer shots, helping families stay on schedule and reducing stress without compromising immune response.

Yes, bring crocheting back.

But do not bring chickenpox back with it.
Crocheting is cool again. Chickenpox is not. Get vaccinated.

The corrupted CDC website refers to a Danish study (Andersson et al) and "a statistically significant 67% increased risk of Asperger's syndrome per 1 mg increase in aluminum exposure among children born between 2007 and 2018 (Supplement Figure 4)." It's worth putting this into context. Short 🧵

Vaccines do not cause autism. We know that the predominant cause of autism is genetics. It is deeply concerning that the CDC is promoting an idea that has been debunked countless times.

Polaroid pictures are in. Congenital rubella syndrome is not.

Vaccinate so your kids can learn what was cool when you were young.
Bring it back: a picture of a Polaroid camera. Keep it gone: a picture of a rubella rash. Rubella is never in style. Vaccinate.

Before we had a vaccine, around 18,000 kids were infected with hep B in the US every year.

www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/c...
Even today, around 25,000 babies in the U.S. are born each year to moms with Hep B. If a newborn catches it, about 90% of them will stay infected for life. This raises their chances of liver disease and liver cancer later on. There are many reasons why mothers don’t know they have Hep B. The test for Hep B is harder to understand than some other tests. A mom might get infected after her first test during pregnancy, but before giving birth. Tests can also be wrong sometimes, showing a false “negative.” Mistakes can happen too—like ordering the wrong test, reading the results wrong, or not sharing the results clearly.

Flu is the cause of so many doctor's visits every winter.

An apple a day might help you, but a flu shot will too.
Flu was the reason for 18 million doctor's visits last year. This year: vaccinate.

Influenza is harder to get over if you’re pregnant. It’s extra important to get a flu shot if you’re expecting.
Each trimester of pregnancy makes influenza riskier. Vaccines bring the risk down.
