no.

steroids are a specific thing, and are not used in vaccines. steroids can’t cause autism even if that was the case. vaccines can not cause autism at all. vaccines work by incapacitating a viral or bacterial agent, sprinkling some red flags on it and dumping it in your system for the immune system to stumble across

autism is a developmental issue, either selected genes at conception mess with developmental plans, or something interrupts development before birth. vaccines do not have a chance to be administered before that period is over.

also!

GMO’s are a meaningless designation to determine harm in any regard. all it dictates is whether humans have in any fashion altered the organism. you might as well have said “red foods can also be dangerous although not likely”

also,

there are people who do believe in flat earth, because otherwise their religion is false.
