Exactly. A misconception primarily based on a single study that was later retracted by the same journal that published the first. What I learned? Retractions are fine, so long as they reach the intended audience. Also, most laypeople don't consider alternate causation. Reyes?

We know that Reyes syndrome is correlated with aspirin use for fever in young children. At the time the study was printed, that was not common knowledge. High fevers can also cause seizures & I've seen people who not have treated fever after reading about Reyes & immune response.

Maybe antivaxers just need one more study and then they will listen to science? :)

There was one recent 2019 study I can’t seem to Google anymore correlating active measles with increased cases autism by 11% so vaccination may be preventing autism. Looking for it.

I hated that in my senior seminar presentation on autism I was told I actually had to waste time debunking it

Yes, it is. However part of the difficulty lies in the history of vaccination resistance which is literally centuries old. See, e.g., https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6122668/ …pic.twitter.com/cyyGZxg9Mg
