A recent study published in the latest issue of Pediatrics shows no association between vaccinations and Autism. Just another that adds to the growing mountain of evidence that vaccines do not cause Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
This is only a single observational study. And is by no means perfect. But it puts more weight down on the side of the safety of vaccines. And is yet more evidence against the claims that Thimerosal has any association with ASD.
Of course this isn't going to sway those hardcore believers that have too much invested in the link. They will simply dismiss the study as bad or lump it in as part of the conspiracy. This really is one of those topics that is really frustrating to learn about. The whole modern anti-vax movement is really the product of a few people. Just a few individuals, with bad science, broken ideas and greed on their minds. And now it is costing the lives of hundreds, perhaps thousands of children. The evidence is firmly down on the side of vaccine efficacy and safety.
For a good summary of this topic.
