Autism is a broad term referring to a range of neurological and developmental disorders.[1] It has been observed in mouse studies as an adverse event following receipt of a COVID-19 vaccine.[2]
On January 10, 2024, Neurochemical Research published a study examining the effects of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine on neonatal rats.[2:1] The researchers found that in "both male and female rats, the vaccine altered genes and brain chemicals involved in brain development, making 'a profound impact on key neurodevelopmental pathways.'"[3]
