Reminder that the “vaccines cause autism” isn’t a “mistake” or a “misunderstanding” or the result of bad evidence, it was JUST completely made up by one guy, on purpose. He had no reason to suspect a connection between the two and he never did. He wanted to make money on his own vaccine formula by discrediting the existing MMR vaccine and he literally only chose autism because he knew it was a scary, confusing new term to the general public. That is 100% all. Autism was a hot-button bandwagon issue because the average person didn’t know what it was and so he considered it ripe for spreading misinformation.

reminder that this guy lost his medical license for pushing this bullshit
