Though the CDC website now states: “‘vaccines do not cause autism. This is not an evidence-based claim,” This is false. Nearly 3 decades of scientific research has repeatedly confirmed there is no causal link between vaccines & autism.” By @autisticadvocacy.org:

Why did not a single male reporter who were standing next to the president and the female reporter he called "piggy" say a word to the president about this and call him out then and there? Those who keep quiet in these moments are part of the problem.

They make games and movies like they used to. So many of them. Same with books.
But the mechanisms you learned about them were totally gutted and changed to only amplify shit that's already popular.
It's still there! You're just mostly on your own to find it.
