Autism

UC Berkeley Wellness Fact
Interesting...

About one in 4 parents still believe that some vaccines can cause autism in children, a recent survey in the journal Pediatrics found. In addition. one in nine said they had refused at least one recommended vaccine for their children. There is no scientific support for the notion that vaccines cause autism. In fact, the British journal 'The Lancet' recently retracted the controversial 1998 study that first set off widespread fears about a vaccine/autism link because the study was seriously flawed and made false claims. Moreover, it was later discovered that the lead autor had been paid by a lawyer suing vaccine makers.
