Getting the measles vaccine is more dangerous than being infected with measles.

The claim that MMR vaccination is more dangerous than catching measles is false. Encephalitis follows roughly 1 in 1,000 measles infections but about 1 in 1,000,000 MMR doses, according to the StatPearls MMR monograph, and measles killed 400 to 500 Americans a year before the vaccine — while the Infectious Diseases Society of America states there have been no deaths shown to be related to the MMR vaccine in healthy people.

Taking Tylenol (acetaminophen/paracetamol) during pregnancy causes autism and ADHD in children.

The claim that acetaminophen taken during pregnancy causes autism and ADHD is not supported by the best-designed research. Two very large sibling-controlled studies — 2,480,797 children in Sweden and 708,020 mother-child pairs in Hong Kong — found essentially no difference in autism or ADHD between exposed and unexposed siblings (hazard ratios of 0.98 to 1.01). A July 2026 appeals court ruling that revived 500-plus lawsuits was procedural: Reuters reported the panel stressed it was not deciding whether acetaminophen causes autism or ADHD.
