There's a footnote citation in the lead section, Cochrane 2020, tagged "needs update." It makes sense for it to marked that way, since, as indicated in the tooltip, there's an updated version of the source article available. I was going to update it myself, but the updated version of the article is behind a paywall, and I don't have access to it. The position of the "needs update" tag immediately after the statement "Vaccination does not increase the risk of autism" is unfortunate, since a casual reader might infer that new information exists that contradicts this claim. If someone with access to the updated article could have a look at it, update any quotations if necessary, whatever's involved in updating a citation, in a timely fashion, it would put my mind at ease a bit! Or the tag could just be removed and this talk page section left up in its place, if that suits Wikipedia practices.
More incidentally, would there be support for replacing "risk" in that sentence with a neutral term like "incidence" or "chance"? -- Autumn on Tape ( talk) 04:13, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
In 2021, Cochrane concludedsounds as if this had not been known before. Should we say when they first concluded it too? -- Hob Gadling ( talk) 10:12, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
Dr. William Thompson was a Senior Scientist with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), where he have worked since 1998. Ha admitted that he and his coauthors omitted statistically significant information in their 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics. The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism.

This is a major info to be included in this Wikipedia article.
It is quite clear that this Wikipedia article is heavily biased, but i want to write this anyway. I owe it to the millions of injuerd for life children. 2A10:8009:1A91:0:34D2:ADF1:12D1:B746 ( talk) 08:11, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
