Are Autism and Vaccines Linked?

Over the last decade, autism has gone from a rare and misunderstood condition to a disorder that may affect as many as 1.5 million Americans. Without a clear explanation in sight, parents and doctors have worked tirelessly to pinpoint the cause of autism, but the answer remains elusive. Are vaccines the missing link?

    Anecdotal evidence

    I cannot say whether vaccines induce autism. I do know this. A large number of parents report the same thing, autism after vaccination. I understand that this is Post Hoc evidence, but there is an awful lot of it. While the medical community swears that it is not the vaccines, they have nothing to offer on what the cause actually is. In many cases it comes across like the medical community is denying the fact of autism after vaccination. It is patronizing and it does not work.
