asd and vaccines

recently, we've got a couple people on this site promoting the idea that vaccines and autism are linked. typically, the "proof" is a youtube video, or a discredited study.



in the interest of sanity, and to show how much evidence exists, i decided to start this thread, detailing evidence.



i have three boys, ages 5, 3 1/2, 3 months. the 3 1/2 year old has been diagnosed with asd. i will not even consider changing the vaccination schedules of my children. this is not a faith-based statement, or taking someone's "word" for it; this is an evidence-based statement. if one were to actually look into the science of this issue, the lack of a link far outweighs any supposed linkage between vaccines and asd.



anyway, here you go....with a very short blurb that does not do justice to the pieces in question.



denmark study, strong evidence against a link

uk study, no causal link

japan study, unlikely link

critical review of published studies, no demonstrable link between thimerosal and asd

there are many, many more studies that looked at this supposed link. i only posted four.



please feel free to post supporting or opposing studies, not youtube videos.
