Disappointing

This is all over the intertubes. All three candidates have supported the idea that childhood vaccines cause autism.

There's no proof. In fact, all evidence suggests that there is no connection whatsoever.

• The effective removal of thimerosal from vaccines brought no observable impact on autism rates.
• Unvaccinated autistic children show the same age of onset as do vaccinated autistic children.
• Major studies and several expert panel reports in the United States and around the world have investigated this issue exhaustively, and found no reason for worry.

As disappointing as it is, I've grown used to goppers getting science wrong. When the Democrats are screwing the same pooch it just makes me sad.
