Vaccination Can Cause Autism

There are still many parents who are worried when giving vaccines to their children because they hear news about the impact of vaccines that are at risk of causing autism. Even though up to now there is no scientific evidence to support this statement. This concern can be understood because the cause of autism itself is still uncertain. If something bad happens to a child, it's natural that parents want to find the cause. Parents also look for various factors that are suspected to be a trigger. Among these various factors, vaccination is one of the things that is considered to cause autism. Lots of information circulating about this, ranging from individual opinions to health institutions. As a result, diseases that could have been anticipated with vaccines became untreated and instead brought their own risks for those who refused the vaccine. One ingredient that is considered a cause of autism is thimerosal, which is a preservative in vaccines. This material is considered to be a poison that attacks the central nervous system which triggers autism in children. Since the 1980s, autism has indeed increased dramatically in Britain. But of the many vaccines given to children, only one contains thimerosal, namely DTP vaccine (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis).

No Scientific Evidence Found

Over the past 15 years, many independent institutions have tested the link between vaccines and autism. As a result, there is no link between thimerosal exposure and autism. Here are some of the results obtained from the test:
  • No causal relationship was found between the vaccine and thimerosal as a trigger
  • There is no evidence to support the relationship between thimerosal-containing vaccines and neuropsychological functions in children aged 7-10 years.
  • Studies have been conducted on children who received DTaP vaccines containing thimerosal compared with those who received the same vaccine without thimerosal. Ten years later, the study found no neurological disorders in children who received the vaccine with thimerosal.
  • There was no association between vaccination and autism or other spectrum autism disorders. There was no increased risk of developing autism or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) after receiving the MMR vaccine, mercury content, or thimerosal in the vaccine. The conclusion of this study is that vaccination is not related to the development of autism or ASD.
However, to avoid the possibility of being bad, there are countries that already provide vaccines that do not contain thimerosal. In the end, vaccines have been proven to save millions of human lives from deadly diseases that were previously untreated. If there are several cases of autism that occur after administration of the vaccine, it cannot be generalized or the vaccine is concluded as the cause. Every statement needs to be tested for its truth, and many studies have shown that the benefits of vaccination are far higher than the risks that they might cause.
