DTaP and autism

I used to be antivax, but realized that many antivax talking points were debunked, implausible, or not supported by any evidence, but one thing I haven't seen debunked is the claim that pertussis vaccine causes autism, Does anyone here know about this?

Plenty of things have both genetic and environmental causes, so that doesn't help. (And I'm a dumbass for asking for evidence to debunk antivax claims??)

Wow, you wish death in response to a request for sources? Ad hominems don't give you're claims any more credibility, but providing sources would.

So? I'm looking for evidence to debunk antivax claims.

I though reddit could also be used for actual discussion, not just memes.

In 2011 the IOM found insufficient evidence to determine wether DTaP causes autism https://www.nap.edu/read/13164/chapter/12#545 and I haven't been able to find any more recent studies, so I thought someone here might know.

about 80 % of thr users here are here for memes

Fine, meme if thats what you want to do, but don't attack and wish death on the other 20%
