The doctor who first reported the possibility of a link between Autism and childhood immunizations apparently falsified at least some of his research.

Here's a news story on it.

Oh... there's a link.
The link between them is that the immunizations are given at about the age when kids are showing enough personality, that autistic characteristics become apparent. ;)

Yes, there's correlation. Causation is the real issue and I just wish there was more research going on. Research is the key!

Yup. I've thought for a long time that that was the only link. It's nice to see this guy discredited.

There is no statically significant correlation, in fact studies of other countries that used the same type of vaccines show a negative correlation.

It's a sham designed to bilk the "Vaccine court"

I know it's mostly coincidence and what gwenlianna said about the age that kids get shots and the age autism symptoms show up being about the same.

I was pointing out that the guy who first made a big deal of the theory may have faked his evidence.
