Are infant vaccinations linked to autism?

No, there is no link between vaccinations and autism. This idea first came about in 1998 when a study was published by Andrew Wakefield that said there was a link between MMR and autism - this study was shown to be completely fraudulent, however many people today continue to believe this due to people pushing pseudoscience to further their own causes, such as to spread fear about vaccinations or autism, or to sell expensive autism treatments to parents, or simply out of ignorance. Autism is a neurological difference, as the brain is formed within the womb common sense dictates that vaccines cannot cause autism - a vaccine cannot change the brain, nor can it go back in time to change a babies development within the womb.
