Quoth an antivaxer: Vaccines are making dogs autistic!

I love dogs and puppies; so I used this post as an excuse to post a picture of a cute puppy running.

To antivaxers, it’s always the vaccines. Now they’re claiming vaccines cause autism in dogs. The problem, of course, is that vaccines don’t cause autism in humans, and labeling dog behavior as “autistic” is problematic in the extreme.
