No: There was a small study many years ago funded ( fraudulently not disclosed) by the anti vaccine lobbyist lawyers which resulted in some suggestion of this. It was later retracted by the Lancet when this was disclosed. Many subsequent years of global research has not shown any association. Many children have died from the devastating effects of this misinformation.

No: Dr Wakefield,an adult GI doc in England studied kids sent to him by lawyers, used kids at a birthday party as his "control" and suggested this in an article. He lost his license and was run out of England after his fraud was exposed. Today we find increasing evidence that gene miss-coding in small areas of DNA are present in many affected kids.This was already in the egg when conception occurred
