Study after study after study has proven no link between vaccinations and autism. It's one of those "urban legend" kind of things. People believe what they want to believe, regardless of the facts. Blaming a vaccination is easier than examining their own actions, past drug use, or environmental factors, for example ... if it is the vaccination's "fault" then it can't be MY fault ...
