Marjorie Taylor Greene Slammed For Saying Vaccines Cause Autism

On Monday, the conspiracy-mongering congresswoman declared on social media that she believes in the debunked idea that vaccines cause autism, a claim that has been researched again and again and found to be baseless.

“I fully believe vaccines cause Autism,” Greene wrote on X, formerly Twitter. ”It’s another example of crimes against humanity. And innocent babies, children, and their families are the victims.”

Greene’s post quickly received a community note pointing out that “the scientific literature on this is so extensive, that claiming otherwise can only be explained through sheer ignorance, or some sort of nefarious political purpose.”

The note included links to many, many sources explaining the issue in more detail.

Greene’s post got quite a bit of attention, and a great deal of mockery.
