Vaccines cause the flu and autism
Classic Definition: Although the human body can develop a low-grade fever, muscular aches and pains in response to any vaccine, rumors that a flu shot can cause the flu are not true.
Modern Circumstance: Flu shots do contain dead flu viruses, but they are indeed dead. As for vaccines causing autism, this myth was started in 1998 with an article in the journal The Lancet.
Paradox Examples: In the study, the parents of eight children with autism said they believed their children acquired the condition after they received a vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella (the MMR vaccine). Since then, rumors have run rampant despite the results of many studies.
Oxymoron: https://medicalexecutivepost.com/2025/05/11/paradox-v-oxymoron-2/
And, a 2002 study in The New England Journal of Medicine of 530,000 children found no link between vaccinations and the risk of a child developing autism.
Choice Paradox: https://medicalexecutivepost.com/2025/02/23/healthcare-paradox-of-choice/
Unfortunately, the endurance of this paradoxical myth continues to eat up time and funding dollars that could be used to make advances in autism, rather than proving, over and over again, that vaccinations do not cause the condition.
