Vaccines Do Not Cause Autism

December 5, 2025

The recent revision to the CDC website includes the statement “vaccines do not cause autism is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism”

This is a confusing, deceptive and misleading statement !

Childhood vaccines have been studied extensively and rigorously both for safety and efficacy. Childhood vaccines have saved countless lives and prevented billions of devasting life-threatening and disabling infections. Childhood vaccines DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM !!!

We have listed several studies below to rigorously completed peer-reviewed studies that support vaccine safety and effectiveness.
