Marco Arturo is a 12-year-old boy from Mexico with a burgeoning interest in science. Like a lot of other scientists studying immunology, Marco is interested in the plight of people in the anti-vaccination movement and their unwavering claim that vaccinating children can increase their risk for autism. In a video posted on his Facebook page, the young science guy took the time to gather all the scientific evidence he could find showing the link between vaccinations and autism. Spoiler alert! There is none.

Marco starts off with the standard anti-vaxxer rhetoric: Doctors and pharmaceutical companies are lying to us for their own financial gain. He goes on to claim that he has gathered a lot of scientific research in support of the anti-vaccination movement. However, when he opens his folder titled Evidence That Vaccines Cause Autism, we find out the real reason behind his video: a magnificent troll job on anti-vaxxers.

Although anti-vaccination propaganda can be found in every corner of the internet, many who follow this movement fail to recognize that initial research showing a link between vaccines and autism has since been debunked due to a lack of evidence and poor research methods. In fact, the British researcher who started the crusade, Andrew Wakefield, has since been stripped of his license to practice medicine. Anti-vaxxers continue to have a higher risk for measles and pertussis compared to those who are vaccinated.

Even studies supported by the anti-vaccination movement have produced findings that do not support the relationship between vaccines and autism. The anti-vaccination group SafeMinds recently funded a six-year study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that analyzed this link. In spite of the amount of money the group sunk into the research, the findings showed virtually no association between measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines and shrinkage in a brain area tied to autism.
