In a bit of good news, another set of studies shows vaccines don't have any relationship with developing autism in children. In an article published in Medscape entitled Multiple Vaccines Safe, Not Linked to Autism, Paul Offit talks about an article recently published in the Journal of Pediatrics by Frank DeStefano of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, looking at the relationship between vaccines and autism. Offit finishes his article by saying that the cause of autism hasn't been clearly identified , but that vaccines are definitely not to blame.
Some critics will probably suspect Offit's motives for publicizing this study, especially since he is a strong proponent of vaccines. But as far as being a parent who wants to find real pragmatic solutions or eventually the actual cause of autism, I'd like as many dissenting opinions out there with their proponents working feverishly working to prove their own theory. If we want to find out the truth, we need to be open to any possibilities and let the people in the industry who have the resources to research it.
