Vaccines have not been shown to cause alpha-gal syndrome, an allergy linked to tick bites. Cases cluster where lone star ticks live.

Is the MMR vaccine lethal to children?
MMR vaccines are not killing children. The Zenodo paper relies on VAERS data that cannot by itself show vaccines caused deaths.

Is autism a result of too many vaccines?
Vaccines do not cause autism. Large studies, including a 2026 study of 2.5 million U.S. children after MMR vaccination, find no link.
