Is it possible there is proof vaccines are connected with autism?

No credible evidence: The vaccine haters have tried to link shots to crib death, cerebral palsy and now autism over the past 30 yrs. Each time the science has proven them wrong. The british doc who claimed MMR triggered cases lost his license when his fraudulent research was exposed. Autism is emerging as a gene linked defect.Future research may point to its origin, but it has found no link to vaccines.

Not Causal: We have many years of global research that shows no CAUSAL association between vaccines and autism. However, the small study that created this controversy was funded by anti vaccine lobbyists, which Wakefield never disclosed when he published it with The Lancet. This fraud caused many deaths of babies and children around the world, especially in California (pertussis) and England ( measles )
