    The Truth About Vaccines and Autism

    To kick off Season 16, we present one debunked study, decades of vaccine hesitancy, and why it still matters. Dr. Jessie Seiler, PhD, MPH, is back on Spot On! to tackle one of the most persistent health myths of our time: the false claim that vaccines cause autism. Published and retracted in the 1990s, this single flawed study sparked a firestorm of misinformation that continues to shape public fear around vaccination today. But the science is clear, and Dr. Seiler breaks down exactly why. In this episode, we examine the study's critical design flaws, what the data actually showed, and why vaccine innovation remains one of modern medicine's greatest achievements.
