Discussing Vaccines and Autism

In this article written by the doctors and editors at the Southwest Research and Resource Center, it is discussed how vaccines do not cause autism. It explains why people are inclined to think that vaccines cause autism. The explanation this article gives is that during the time when a child gets diagnosed with autism is also around the same time, they get their vaccines. These doctors try to drive the point, that one does not equal the other home through this article. In conclusion, this article gives a overview of why people believe these to completely non-related things are related, and that while vaccinating your child should be up to the parents, it is important for the health of the public to have all school attending children to be vaccinated. This article will be beneficial to me when writing my paper because it offers a general overview of the anti-vaccination movement and why it began.
