It's not the vaccines that are accused of causing autism, it's the preservative thimerasol, added for no other reason than to extend shelf life that has shown links to autism. Just because the FDA has chosen not to focus its studies on the link between autism and thimerasol is not proof that there is no link. I would like to hear other reasons why the number of cases of autism has shot up in the last 20 years. For me and my kids I'll go ahead and ask for thimerasol free vaccines.
