If you read (probably not) my previous article on the Measles Comeback, I was mentioning that a lot of the fear for parents not to vaccinate their kids is on rumors or hearsay of this vaccination causing autism.
Well there's a new study out from Columbia University... Measles DOES NOT cause autism. Read the article at the link below -- its pretty self explanatory. The thing is, people's fear of vaccinations are almost entirely based on hearsay. The origin of this are the families whose children develop a disorder like autism, after getting vaccinated. The comparison is then made to children who do not develop autism and who at the same time, are not vaccinated.
Autism is a genetically inherited disorder. It can be related to birth defects -- but NOT the measles vaccine. Check out this link, and follow the footnote labelled "5".
