The results out of Japan mirror experience and research data all over the world - no connection between immunization and autism.

If DQ, King of Cherry-Pickers differs, perhaps he can cherry-pick _one study_ (any study) showing that decreasing or eliminating vaccination has caused a drop in autism rates. Good luck, no such evidence exists.

What we do know is that lowered MMR immunization rates have produced a jump in measles cases in Britain, due to false antivax scaremongering.

And the other favorite antivax claim, about thimerosal preservative in vaccines allegedly causing autism, has been debunked, in part because reported autism rates kept rising long after thimerosal was removed from virtually all vaccines.

"LOS ANGELES - Autism cases in California continued to climb even after a mercury-based vaccine preservative that some people blame for the neurological disorder was removed from routine childhood shots, a new study found.

Researchers from the state Department of Public Health found the autism rate in children rose continuously during the 12-year study period from 1995 to 2007. The preservative thimerosal hasn’t been used in childhood vaccines since 2001, but is used in some flu shots.

Doctors say the latest study adds to existing evidence refuting a link between thimerosal exposure and autism risk and should reassure parents that the disorder is not caused by vaccinations."
