Recent finds in two articles in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A indicate correlations between autism and vaccinations.
With the rapid rise of autism in the United States that began in the 1990s, these articles titled "A Positive Association found between Autism Prevalence and Childhood Vaccination uptake across the U.S. Population" and "Hepatitis B Vaccination of Male Neonates and Autism Diagnosis" in Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, Part A may answer some questions as to why there is an increase in cases of this disorder. Via Sepp Hasslberger
American Institute Health Care Professionals's insight:
The quest goes on to define a cause for Autism. This is an interesting article and worth the read. Everyday it seems there is a new theory put forth for the cause of autism. Just the other day I read of a theory that the cause is environmental pollution. On the other hand, we do need more research into the possible effects of vaccinations.

It is pretty bad if vaccines have to be "proven" to do damage, rather than the other way around.
By rights, vaccines should be required to prove that they do not do damage. That's how it is supposed to be for all pharmaceuitcal products.
But with the strong reputation vaccines (still) enjoy, government agencies are very reluctant to act, even in the face of fairly widespread damage. Any evidence of vaccines causing harm is blended out as long as possible.
And of course meanwhile, vaccines are big business.
