Fun fact: The doctor that made the "Vaccine causes Autism" claim has been disproven multiple times and even lost his doctorate for it

Not just disproven. It was a deliberate fraud. The kids in his study didn't exist; or when they did, he lied about their medical cases

The study had only a dozen kids in it. Even if it was real, it proved nothing. But it wasn't. It was a hoax to help the author win lawsuits

Incidentally this is exactly why RFK does this too. To grift people into class action suits they can't win
