Why do some people think that vaccines can cause diabetes?

The usual suspects…

Can Vaccines Cause Diabetes?

And diabetes is listed on the package insert for some vaccines!

An entry in a package insert is not evidence that vaccines are associated with diabetes.

But folks can be reassured that there are many studies that have concluded that vaccines are not associated with diabetes.

“Vaccines currently routinely recommended to the general population in the U.S.* do not cause diabetes.” Do Vaccines Cause Diabetes?

Not only that, vaccines help protect kids with diabetes. Remember, kids with diabetes are at increased risk to get flu and pneumonia and other vaccine preventable diseases.

There’s more too.

“There was a 33% reduction in the risk of type 1 diabetes with completion of the rotavirus vaccine series compared to the unvaccinated… We conclude that rotavirus vaccination is associated with a reduced incidence of type 1 diabetes.” Rogers et al on Lower Incidence Rate of Type 1 Diabetes after Receipt of the Rotavirus Vaccine in the United States, 2001–2017

Vaccines might even be protective against diabetes!

So why do some people think that vaccines can cause diabetes???
