Can immunizations cause autism?

0

• Answer: The immunizations and autism debate doesn’t seem to go away. As of today, the weight of currently available scientific evidence does not support the hypothesis that the mumps, measles, and rubella (MMR) vaccine causes autism, says the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development in Bethesda, Md. Some groups still contend that the preservative thimerosal, which contains a type of mercury, and is found in certain vaccines, is responsible the rising rates of autism. To date, there is no conclusive evidence that any vaccine can cause autism.
