Vaccines And Autism | Community Health

Extensive research has shown that there is no link between vaccines and autism spectrum disorder. Major health authorities, including the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, confirm that vaccines are safe and do not cause autism. Despite this, the anti-vaccination movement continues to promote false claims, which originated with Andrew Wakefield's fraudulent 1998 paper. The scientific consensus is clear: vaccines do not cause autism, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks.
