This was what lead to the idea that vaccines caused autism, Peta was pushing this crap in the 90s.
I’ve never heard peta mentioned in this context. Source?

These are all about the supposed link between milk and autism, not vaccines and autism.
I've realized that I poorly worded my earlier post, I meant that the claim that milk causing autism inspired the later claimed that vaccines cause autism, it was the first popularized claim that X consumable caused autism as far as I know of.
