Are gastrointestinal problems the only mechanism causing brain dysfunction characterized by the diagnosis of autism?
4. What constitutes the evidence of causality? 5. What IS the solution to the problem? The answer to the first three questions, which we will address first, is a resounding NO! The fourth and fifth questions are addressed subsequently. 1. Is the MMR triple vaccine the only cause of autism? There is not only a documented link of autism to the MMR vaccine, but also to the other vaccines, such as the DPT and polio. We also know of a case of a child developing autism after the Hepatitis A vaccine and others after the Hepatitis B vaccine. 2.
