VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM, YOU FLAMING SHITBIRDS.

WE HAVE, IN FACT, NOT IGNORED YOUR NOW-DEFUNCT HYPOTHESIS. WE INVESTIGATED IT TO THE TUNE OF STUDIES WITH DATA FROM MILLIONS OF KIDS.
Vaccine Safety MENU V For Everyone NOV. 19, 2025 KEY POINTS • The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. • Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities. • HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism, including investigations on plausible biologic mechanisms and potential causal links.

Some spooky #spatial images today.... 🎃 💀 👻

EI scientists Ashleigh and Daniella from our #singlecell team captured these skull-like apparitions (naturally occurring in the vascular bundle of leaves) while working with Alloteropsis samples on a collaboration with @marjorielundgren.bsky.social.
