The World Health Organization issued a statement on the 11th saying that the latest analysis report of the organization's Global Vaccine Safety Advisory Committee indicates that there is no causal relationship between vaccines and autism. The Global Vaccine Safety Advisory Committee was established in 1999 to provide WHO with independent and authoritative scientific advice on key matters relating to global vaccine safety. The statement said the report focused on thiomersal-containing vaccines and the link between common vaccines and autism. Based on evidence from 31 studies published between January 2010 and August 2025, the report strongly supports the safety of vaccination during childhood and pregnancy, and confirms that there is no causal relationship between vaccines and autism. Furthermore, the Commission assessed the potential health risks associated with aluminum-containing adjuvant vaccines based on several studies from 1999 to March 2023, and a large cohort study that analyzed registration data for children born from 1997 to 2018 across Denmark. There is no link between certain vaccines containing trace amounts of aluminum and autism, and this conclusion supports continued use of aluminum-containing adjuvant vaccines. Based on the findings of the review, the Committee reiterated its previous findings in 2002, 2004 and 2012 that vaccines, including thiomersal and aluminum-containing vaccines, do not cause autism. The statement also said that global child immunization is one of the major achievements in improving health, life, and social well-being. Childhood immunization has saved at least 154 million lives over the past 50 years.
