Autism
Do childhood vaccinations cause autism? This is a question that I am currently investigating. As of this moment, I think my opinion would be no. The reason for this is that the studies and articles I am reading lean towards a revelation that many children show symptoms of autism around the time they are vaccinated and this is a coincidence. The onset of signs is normally around the same time. Autism has increased greatly since 1979, but is it really due to vaccinations? The particular vaccination that people believe causes it is MMR. According to my current research there was not a significant increase when that vaccination was released. Furthermore, if it was all due to the MMR vaccination, wouldn't autism have been nonexistent before the vaccination started being given? Any thoughts? I am still looking into this because it is interesting and something I feel I need to be thinking about.

My Dr. thinks no. I asked him about it and he says there is no evidence in this and he wouldn't do anything to put his patients at risk. I am pretty sure i trust him.
