Anti-vaccine site baselessly blames vaccines for unrelated health conditions

There is no evidence to support the claim that medical diagnoses are being used to cover up vaccine side effects. A common tactic of anti-vaccine advocates is to baselessly link vaccines to health conditions like SIDS and autism, even after potential links have been unequivocally disproven. Messaging may emphasize that vaccines go through lengthy and rigorous processes to make sure that they are safe and are continuously monitored for safety issues and that the risk of long-term effects from vaccine-preventable diseases is much greater than any risk from a vaccine. Emphasizing that vaccines are safe and protect children against diseases that can cause serious harm or death is recommended.
