A member asked:
I learned that certain vaccines can lead to giving your child autism while in the stomach. is that true?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: A few years ago it was thought that some vaccinations may have lead to autism. We now know that this research was faked and there is in fact no connection between autism and vaccinations. There are many reported cased world wide of children developing autism who have never received any vaccinations.
