I dont understand people claiming vaccines cause autism.

RFK has a thing about Thimerosal in vaccines because heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and mercury directly influence gene expression.

But most vaccines in the US and Europe have already had Thimerosal removed as a precautionary measure, even though there is no evidence that thiomersal in vaccines caused harm.
