Do Vaccinations Cause Autism?

As several people know, there is a huge controversy surrounding the idea that vaccinations may cause autism.  Several parents have filed claims that, after having their child vaccinated, their child began having several symptoms of autism.  Some of the symptoms reported are severe language delay and repetitive movements.  Scientists say that there is no relation between vaccinations and autism.  However, several parents disagree.
               
Some parents traced back when their child began acting strangely to the time their child got a vaccine.  Many of the parents found that their child began acting strangely soon after they got the vaccination.  This was the case for several families. Parents are not the only ones that believe that vaccinations cause autism; several celebrities and even some doctors insist that vaccinations really do cause autism.
               
Several scientists, on the other hand, insist that there is no relation between the two.  Some studies even show that the number of amount of kids that were diagnosed with autism increased after not having vaccinations.  Scientists say that by not vaccinating your kids, you are exposing them to several serious illnesses.

Overall, scientists have run tests and confirmed that there is really no relation between vaccinations and autism.  However, numerous people will keep insisting that their kids, and other kids, got autism from a vaccination.
