Getting your kid vaccinated will not give them autism!

It just so happens that the signs of autism start to manifest themselves at the same age that children go in for their shots. This is why the shots have been blamed. It's a correlation not the cause.

Actually there may not even be a correlation, there was a study released not long ago that did a test for autism among vaccinated children and unvaccinated and the unvaccinated actually were found to have a slightly higher incidence of autism.

This is one of those old wives tales that took off.
