The evidence for "vaccines causing autism" is (a) child is vaccinated; (b) child is diagnosed as autistic; (c) therefore, vaccination causes autism. It's about as realistic as (a) child breathes; (b) child is diagnosed with autism; (c) breathing causes autism.

The studies have been clear. Multiple studies show that there has been NO increase in autism rates in the years following introduction of certain vaccines. Epidemiologists have mapped the number of diagnosed cases of autism against the timeline of introduction of vaccines in California. These studies clearly show NO correlation.

The only individuals who are arguing that there is a correlation are trial attorneys, who personally profit from the pseudoscience involved.

Snake Oil has a new salesman...the trial attorneys of America.

Sadly, their victims are the very children that they purport to assist.
