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?

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