The claim that vaccines cause autism is totally FALSE and was propagated by a 1998 fraudulent paper by Andrew Wakefield. Now disgraced, AW has been struck off the medical register. His claims led to a rise in measles cases and the myth that vaccines cause autism https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😡" title="Schmollendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Schmollendes Gesicht"> https://twitter.com/susannalharris/status/1295732134209101825">https://twitter.com/susannalh...

In fact... vaccines prevent nearly 2.5 million deaths per year in 2010-2015, and has/almost eradicated smallpox, polio, tetanus, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, measles (and many more). As well as giving the unvaccinated *cough* dumb... population good herd immunity to these.

The ONLY people who shouldn’t get vaccines are very old people who those with compromised immune systems already (disease, chemo etc.). This does mean we all should get vaccinated though to give them herd immunity https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😇" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit Heiligenschein" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit Heiligenschein">
