Prioritize public health: Fund vaccine promotion, not misinformation studies.

Vaccines have been thoroughly studied and proven safe and effective, with no link to autism. Funding a new study on a debunked claim is an unwise use of limited public health resources and a waste of taxpayer money. If policymakers are looking to cut government spending, this study would be an absolutely ridiculous allocation of funds. The measles outbreak has already tragically claimed lives that could have been prevented through vaccination. Continuing to promote misinformation about vaccine safety puts more people at risk of contracting preventable diseases. I urge focusing efforts and funds on evidence-based policies to increase vaccination rates and protect public health.
