RE: Study Links Fever During Pregnancy With Autism

in #health8 years ago

Maybe this will quench some of the more stupid anti-vaxxer campaigns to ban vaccination. I doubt it, but you never know.
Obviously, since vaccinations can cause fever, and other flu-like symptoms in general, along with the specific symptoms of the disease being vaccinated against, autism COULD be triggered as the result of a pregnant mother's vaccination. The same response to fever COULD be triggered after birth in a baby, this would certainly be worthwhile data research.
There WOULD be a statistical incidence of autism triggered strictly by vaccines- it's worthwhile simply plugging the data into a risk analysis.
