Not quite link-caching

[velvetpage]

But pretty close.

Below is a list of studies done on the vaccine-autism non-link. I'm putting it here so I can add it to the next comment for someone who asks me to prove vaccines don't cause autism. I got it from that kind of comment in s_f - in fact that was the only reason I read that thread in the first place.

I do find interesting the theory one adult with autism had on why some parents are so desperate to find a link to shots -- it, in a way, absolves them from responsibility. Genetics means it is 'their fault' and that something is wrong with them, and that they shouldn't have reproduced.
