I hope the evidence is more substantial than the “link” between vaccines and autism…

Considering it's from peta, there's roughly a 100% chance it's just total bullshit.

105% with a tolerance of 5%

Potentially 110%?

100% of autistic people who have lived past 30 have breathed air and drank water, but nobody is out here drawing the link between air and water…. The real danger.

Thousands of people got severely exposed to Dihydrogen Monoxide during 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and 2005 Hurricane Katrina, and subsequently died! It's frankly baffling that people don't talk more about this!

This was what lead to the idea that vaccines caused autism, Peta was pushing this crap in the 90s.

I’ve never heard peta mentioned in this context. Source?

These are all about the supposed link between milk and autism, not vaccines and autism.

I've realized that I poorly worded my earlier post, I meant that the claim that milk causing autism inspired the later claimed that vaccines cause autism, it was the first popularized claim that X consumable caused autism as far as I know of.
