The World Health Organization has released a comprehensive analysis confirming that vaccines do not cause autism, contradicting recent claims in the US. This fourth review examined 31 studies across multiple countries over 15 years, finding no causal link between vaccines (including those containing thiomersal or aluminum) and autism. WHO Director-General Tedros emphasized that while vaccines can have side effects, autism is not among them.
