Is there a link between autism and vaccines?

False associations : The vaccine haters have tried to link shots to crib death, cerebral palsy, now autism over the past 30 yrs. Each time 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 or chromosome linked defect.Future research may point to its origin, but it has found no link to vaccines.

No: Absolutely not! the tiny initial study by wakefield many years ago was later discovered to be funded by antivaccine attorneys without disclosure in the paper. It was later retracted by the lancet, and global research was never able to duplicate his findings. Many children have suffered from measles encephalitis and pertussis in the wake of these allegations.
