Vaccines don’t cause autism, but the lie won’t die—in fact, it’s getting worse
Vaccine misinformation persists as measles cases are soaring.

@arstechnica There's also another major disease going around that vaccine misinformation has been causing problems around.
@arstechnica its insane how this garbage is still going strong. the vaccines causing autism thing literally started because andrew wakefield decided that correlation = causation and ran with his "discovery", got millions in funding for cure research from pharmaceutical companies and refused to admit he was wrong, continuing to double down because it would ruin the cushy life he had just gained from his bullshit if he admitted his failures like a decent person.
@arstechnica Maybe is creating, since scientists not always test in their own bodies before testing vacines in others bodies, which would be fair. Naturally what heavy drugs "illegal" were, if not vacines used in the past? Favorite Military experiments.
Anyway, Glad vacines existe, creating or not everything that they don't guarantee but prevent. To know how it works, you need to test, while testing you need to do mistakes. Medicine is Good but assume the possibility of what Science already know
@arstechnica Darwin is back again. The problem with this is that it affects more people, and there are people that can not be vaccinated.
