Substantial Evidence Pertaining to the Great Debate of the Possible Correlation Between Vaccines and Autism: A Literature Review

I. The Abstract

 

Vaccines and autism may be linked due to certain components found within vaccinations. These components may cause an increased chance of autism in children who are routinely vaccinated compared to those who are not. Most data was found through taking surveys and polls from official establishments such as the California Department of Developmental Services (CDDS) that attempted to count and chart the amount of children with autistic characteristics compared to those who displayed no autistic characteristics. There are also statements and evidence found in various public articles. Some findings point toward there being no relation between the vaccines and autism; however, others allege there is a need for further research, with other investigation tactics being non-conclusive. The end result is that there is no concrete conclusion reached with the given evidence, and more research would need is crucial for definitive resolution.
