None: No vaccine is linked to autism. The one article that advanced this idea was published in a british medical journal, the lancet, a few years ago. Last year, the author admitted that he had falsified the data. Avoiding proper vaccination on these grounds is not only harmful to your child, but to the population as a whole.

The fraud won't die: Dr.Wakefield published his suggestive article in the Lancet more than a decade ago.Since that time his work has been proven a fraud, he was stripped of his medical license left Britain in shame.His work was instigated by British lawyers who paid him well. New research points to events that alter genes before or at conception as autism's main trigger.Time will tell if this lead is true.
