ABSOLUTELY NOT: There is currently not a shred of evidence anywhere that vaccines cause or trigger autistic spectrum disorder.A recent review of over 1000 research studies showed in all of them no connection was shown!

No: This false idea has been disproven. Initial questions were raised by a fraudulent british researcher who had financial interests in stopping usual vaccination practices. The situation was finally exposed by the british medical journal last year. Many research initiatives were unable to demonstrate a link between vaccination & autism. Many children suffered & died because they went unvaccinated.

No: Despite dr block's assertion, the referenced articles were full of flaws unlike the 100's of research studies demonstrating no connection whatsoever. In addition to the latest study in pediatrics of brain imaging in infants as young as 6mos.O with maybe identifying predictors of autism before the MMR for example.

Fraudulent data: Several studies have disproven the link, which was originally published in 1998 by dr. Andrew wakefield. An investigation by the british medical journal (bmj) concluded that dr.Wakefield faked data and created an elaborate fraud, causing long-lasting damage to public health. In fact, the original study was eventually retracted in 2010, and dr, wakefield lost his license.

No scientific link.: There is no scientifically validated link between immunizations and autism. There have been "accusations" tthat the preservative (thimerosol) previously present in many vacines and/or administration of the MMR as a combination vaccine increased the risk of autism, but many well-performed studies show that no link exists.
