As a physician and father of an autistic child I hate that we still have to have a debate on this topic but here we are. Yet again we have health professionals who despite all the evidence against the fact still continue to make the general public believe that there is somehow a connection to autism & vaccinations. Today we are going to discuss exactly how the controversy started and lay out facts to dismiss claims of a relationship.
