False information on vaccines is something that needs to stop, “The most important thing to know is that the link between vaccines and autism has been debunked - widely and repeatedly.” (Cha, Washington Post.) Claims that vaccinations do more harm than good are outright wrong, and when people fear the unknown (such as the causes of autism) they point fingers prematurely and pass the blame on to something else they don’t fully understand. Celebrities and people in power have a certain weight to their words, and any misinformation from them can be damaging. Their following may follow the beliefs of these people as well, causing misinformation to spread. Misinformation about vaccines can be deadly.
