    Stop saying that the link between autism and vaccines is "unproven". It is discredited. It is disproven. Disproven and unproven are not the same thing.

    @JeremyMallin Disproven. Also known colloquially as "proven to be horseshit".

      @JeremyMallin even worse that disproven it was an actual lie with falsified test and the culprit lost his right to even do anything health related.

          @JeremyMallin the people saying "unproven" are doing so with full knowledge of their word-weaseling

              @JeremyMallin I know I'm not a scientific study, but I'm autistic and my parents are antivaxers 😬

                @JeremyMallin what about a link between CO² build-up and autism?

                  +1. In the empirical sciences, nothing is proven. A hypothesis can only be falsified. If it fails to falsify, it becomes a theory. But a theory is never proven. And the link between autism and vaccines is falsified ie, not relevant for science.

                      @JeremyMallin

                      Actually I don't think disproven is the scientifically correct word either.

                      The formally correct statement is... "There is no evidence for a link"
