About “Autism's false prophets”
Autism's False Prophets: Bad Science, Risky Medicine, and the Search for a Cure is a 2008 non-fiction book by Paul A. Offit, a vaccine expert and chief of infectious diseases at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The book addresses the controversy over the discredited link between vaccines and autism. It highlights the lack of scientific evidence supporting this connection. A 2011 article in a pharmacotherapy journal referred to the vaccine-autism claim as "the most damaging medical hoax of the last 100 years." The book examines how misinformation has influenced public perception and medical practices. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0.)
