Summarize the evidence in the matter of the hypothesis that vaccinations contribute to the cause of autism
Have no clue about this one! Please help
Answer: In 1998, Andrew Wakefield and several other authors speculated that it was likely that MMR vaccinations were responsible for 12 cases of autism. They did not however base this speculation on any empirical evidence. Since then several very large, empirical studies have looked for epidemiological evidence of a link between vaccinations and the rate of autism. For example a Danish study of one half million children found no statistical difference in the rate of autism between children who had received the suspect vaccination and children who hadn't. The same conclusion was published by studies in the UK and Japan, which also found no evidence of a link between vaccinations and autism.
