Research has shown, definitively, that vaccines do not cause autism – but somehow a decent amount of people still believe that they do. What’s slightly shocking is that millennials are the ones with the highest percentage of believers. The chances of that demographic being influenced by the fraudulent research published in The Lancet back in 1998, which was retracted in 2010, seems slim. Perhaps a connection to celebrities like Jenny McCarthy have something to do with it, or even just hearing the words “vaccine” and “autism” in the news peripherally so often has had an effect on some young people.
