Genetic link to autism

I wonder if this will have any impact on the people who believe vaccines caused their child's autism?

You're supposed to get a booster for whooping cough every ten years. If you get it, the chances of getting the disease are much slimmer. It's a good example of herd immunity - the more people have some immunity, the fewer will get sick when they come across it, and the fewer people there will be to spread it, etc, etc.
